UTICA FIREWORKS CELEBRATION

Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri and Genesis Group President & CEO Ray Durso today announced that due to New York State recently lifting all COVID-19 restrictions, plans for fireworks in honor of Independence Day are back on.

Utica's Independence Day Celebration will take place on Monday, July 5th from 7:00pm to 10:00pm at F.T. Proctor Park at Rutger Street and Culver Avenue. Local band “Soul Injection” will perform at 7:30pm with fireworks scheduled to go off at dusk.

Centro will offer free shuttle service, and food trucks (and other vendors) who would like to participate on July 5th should contact the Utica City Clerk's Office at (315)-792-0113.

The 2021 City of Utica Fireworks Celebration is sponsored by The Bank of Utica, Adorino Construction, The Genesis Group and the City of Utica.

In addition to fireworks, the City is partnering with Mohawk Valley Health System, New York State Department of Health, Oneida County Health Department, Central Oneida County Volunteer Ambulance Corps (COCVAC) and Upstate Family Health Center, Inc. to have a COVID-19 Vaccination POD on site for any residents who would like to be vaccinated.

Photo Submission

Happy 60th Anniversary to Kent and Carole Cole!

Starting July 12th take a detour around Route 12B in Deansboro.

Also evident in this photo are the dark clouds hovering over Waterville that brought an intense rainfall of about 3" in a short period of time. By this morning things had soaked in/dried out a bit. But we're sure, after listening to the whistle go off multiple times, that many basements were pumped yesterday alone. The following photos of the caves and Big Creek were taken around 11 am. Shortly after the rain started again, and we're sure after another fast 1.5" - 2" they don't look quite the same.

May the damage but minimal, if any, may the creek beds hold, and things dry out (but not too much) as we head into the Fourth of July weekend, with a full day of sunshine predicted on the 4th!

No Blog Post on Monday, July 5th (the 4th observed)
