Saranac Thursday Returning For 2022 In Utica New York

One of Central New York's summertime traditions is back. Saranac Thursdays will return to downtown Utica New York after taking a break 2020, and 2021.

The first Saranac Thursday is coming up on June 2nd and will start in the courtyard. According to WKTV, depending on the size, it may be moved to the biergarten.

"The support for Saranac Thursdays over the years has been overwhelming. You know, we've rasied a bunch of money for United Way and people just kept saying, 'bring it back bring it back bring it back, so we said let's do it, let's raise a bunch of money for United Way, let's have fun together and get outside and enjoy some beer and enjoy each other's company,” said Fred Matt, president of F.X. Matt Brewing Company.

There will be no cover charge this year for any of the Thursday concerts. However, money from the events will still be donated to the United Way. Once we get a full lineup for the weekly concerts, we will update this article.
