Ask any New Yorker and you'll find that our calendars are always full. Between theater's greatest shows on Broadway and performing arts centers in Buffalo, Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester, and Elmira, sports games of the world-famous Buffalo Bills and New York Rangers, seasonal and food festivals galore (including ones specifically honoring wine, garlic, and strawberries), and the Great New York State Fair, you'll find plenty to do, no matter when you're visiting. Winter brings special events like tree-lighting ceremonies, holiday parades, New Year's Eve fireworks, and even a real-life ice castle at Saranac Lake Ice Festival. And yes, you'll be able to meet Santa this winter.
