Patriotism and beer reign at this July 3nd event.  Red, White, and Blue fest has the feel of a backyard barbecue, and menu options include: Steamed clams, hamburgers, hotdogs, and since we're near the Salt City,  yes there will be salt potatoes too.

Baseball- Syracuse Chiefs vs Rochester Red Wings (NBT Bank Stadium, 1 Tex Simone Drive, Syracuse)

Baseball is as American, as apple pie, and ice cream, so there's no better way to celebrate America's birthday, than at the ballpark on July 2nd and July 3rd. According to Syracuse. Com:

Come cheer on the Chiefs and enjoy a night of giveaways and a special fireworks display following both the Saturday and Sunday night games. Dancing bat boy BBoy McCoy will perform at both games.
