Syracuse’s urban neighborhoods continue to face chronic public health challenges. Resistance to traditional healthcare is widespread. Vaccination rates are the lowest in the region. Diabetes, hypertension, cancer, infant mortality, and respiratory disease rates are high. Communication with isolated residents lacking computers and transport is difficult. Residents are unaware of health services available to them.

Enter CNY Jazz in the City. This aggressive, community-wide public health outreach effort uses the arts as a mobile platform to bring people together and provide them with the joy of congregating to enjoy music, food, and fun.

These Thursday evening concert fairs span the neighborhoods of urban Syracuse THROUGH June, July, and August, providing safe outdoor environments for all to attend.

Every event provides:

-National and Regional talent in concert
-Healthcare Village
-BIPOC arts, crafts, and corporate vendors
-Ethnic food vendors
-Family goodie bag distribution to all attendees filled with public health service info, supplies, and incentive coupons
-Educational and inspirational speakers
-Special Opening Act performances by resident urban and urban youth groups

Ambitious misfit Mike Wazowski and natural-born scarer Sulley return in this Pixar prequel!

Ever since he was a kid monster, Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) has dreamed of becoming a Scarer. To make his dream a reality, he enrolls at Monsters University. During his first semester, he meets Sulley (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. Sulley and Mike engage in a fierce rivalry that ultimately gets them both kicked out of MU’s elite Scare Program. To make things right, Mike and Sulley — along with a bunch of misfit monsters — will have to learn to work together.

Movies at The Smith aren't just a film screening, they are an event! Dress in a monstrous costume, or wear your favorite Monsters Inc accessories! Remember to stop by Concessions in our beautiful lobby to purchase your fresh, delicious popcorn, and be sure to catch the vintage cartoon short screening before our feature film!

Movie Rating: Rated G
Running Time: 1 hour, 42 minutes

Connect with local history and lend a helping hand! Channel the spirit of the old Oneida Community "Bees"—the historic communal work parties of the past—and help us restore and preserve these beautiful monuments.

Event Details
When: Saturday, August 1, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Rain Date: Saturday, August 22, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Where: Oneida Community Cemetery (Meet on the front porch of the Mansion House)

Cost: Free! (RSVP is strongly recommended so we can track headcount)

About the Event
Established in the 1860s, the Oneida Community Cemetery is a vital piece of our shared heritage. Over the decades, its historic headstones have accumulated dirt, vegetation, and natural wear and tear.

OCMH will provide the water, specialized cleaning agents, and some basic materials, but this event is BYOB (Bring Your Own Brush)!

⚠️ Critical Brush Guidelines: To protect the historic integrity of the stones, your brush must have nylon or fabric bristles. A standard scrub brush or even an old toothbrush works perfectly. Absolutely no metal or wire bristles allowed, as they will permanently damage the headstones!

Come dressed for outdoor work, meet your neighbors, and help us keep history shining. We look forward to seeing you there!

If you love great choral music, these two concerts are going to be "can't miss" events in Syracuse this summer! The Syracuse Summer Voices are a group of Syracuse University choral alumni, professional singers, and music educators who have gathered under the direction of Dr. John Warren (SU) and in collaboration with Dr. Dan Sato, pianist.

Our concerts will feature the works of not only talented and innovative composers, but also gifted poets and writers. We hope you will join us and share in the power of what voices raised in songs of hope, reflection, praise, and love can bring to all our lives.
