A Catered Affair

If it's a big concert, a great dramatic production, or a high-profile convention and it's happening in Syracuse, there's a good chance that it's on–at the OnCenter. This incredibly stylish and state of the art venue is equipped to handle a variety of entertainment events. And, no matter where your seats are in the arena, in the theater, or in one of the large meeting/reception rooms, you can be sure that the event is completely “on” if it's on the schedule at the OnCenter!

A face can portray many emotions. That concept is stretched to great effect at the Museum of International Masks and Puppets. The Open Hand Theater is located in a newly renovated castle in the heart of Syracuse, and this proves to be the perfect setting in which to hear about the various cultures, stories and personalities that come alive thanks to the artistry of puppetry. As critics have echoed, Puppet Theater is ridiculous yet sublime!

Nature and history intertwine to create something special at the Camillus Erie Canal Park. This 300-acre park is located between Albany and Buffalo, at the midpoint of the Erie Canal. The expansive area features seven miles of trails that are used for hiking, mountain biking or horseback riding in the warmer months of the year and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter. Also, don't miss the chance to stop into Sim's Store Museum which is a replica of an actual canal-side store that can be found in the center of the park.

Getting married is a huge commitment. Before the bride commits to walking down the aisle, she has to make sure that she and everyone in her party look their best for the big day. Syracuse's Spybaby Bridal is a full-service salon that specializes in making everyone from the bride to her mother and the bridesmaids look truly stunning. The boutique also offers an impressive array of gowns and other accessories in addition to doing the hair, nails and makeup of the entire party to make sure that everything is perfect leading up to the big “I do”s.
