Utica Events

The 7th annual Haunted History investigation, Herkimer’s Haunted Crossroads Investigation, will take place on October 22nd 2016. One of the sites you'll be able to explore is the 1834 jail house where murderer Chester Gillette was held and Roxalana Druse was hanged.

It doesn't matter what the weather is like this weekend, America On Tap is coming to Vernon Downs, period! This is your chance to spend some quality time with old friends, and family, sampling some great craft beer and playing horseshoes. Then you can stay for the races.

One of the best aspects of the craft beer industry is the continuous flow of new seasonal products. One local brewery that is particularly good at this is the Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, NY. They are one of Men's Health Magazine's "Best Beers for Fall," and will be featured at America On Tap coming to Vernon Downs.

Are you a fan of craft beer? We’re looking for an elite group of volunteers to join our Horseshoes and Brews team to help with our event at Vernon Downs on Saturday October 1st.

Are you ready for the Guys Expo at the Utica Aud? Set up is under way for the big event Saturday, September 17th.
