Utica, NY – The Neighborhood Center is thrilled to announce its inaugural Fall Festival, a highly anticipated event set to bring together families, friends, and community members for an afternoon of festive fun. Join us on September 15th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Saranac 1888 Biergarten, located at 830 Varick Street in Utica.
The Fall Festival promises a diverse range of activities for all ages. Enjoy games, a bounce house, live entertainment, and more. This dog-friendly event will also feature a special Best-Dressed Dog Contest, sponsored by Putrelo Building Enterprises, where families can showcase their furry friends in creative costumes.
“We are excited to introduce this new event to our city,” said Sandra Soroka, Executive Director of The Neighborhood Center. “This festival not only provides a fun and safe environment for families but also supports our essential year-round programs and services.”
The festival will serve as a fundraiser for The Neighborhood Center, with proceeds supporting our efforts to provide vital services to children, families, and individuals in the community. From mental health support to early childhood education, The Neighborhood Center is dedicated to making a difference.
Attendees can look forward to various activities throughout the day, including balloon animals from the Ziyara Zanies, the Utica Zoo Mobile, face painting, and more. For an extra $10 each, participants can also enjoy tie-dyeing a shirt or joining the 2:30 PM Paint and Sip experience. Pre-registration is required for tie-dyeing and Paint and Sip.
