2025 TASTE OF SYRACUSE RECAP
The 2025 Summit Federal Credit Union Taste of Syracuse presented by Tops Friendly Markets was yet another “delicious” HIT this year. Despite, a few hours of rain on Friday, THOUSANDS, gathered in and around Clinton Square to really “taste” what Syracuse has to offer! From $2 samples, to 3 stages full of live music from local bands, to raising money for two amazing charity organizations (David’s Refuge and the Ronald McDonald House of CNY), the Taste of Syracuse is a Syracuse fan favorite festival to kick off the start to the summer season. It is a can’t miss event every year that brings the Syracuse community together.
