Oswego County comes alive as winter gives way to spring. Residents and visitors alike embrace the outdoors, whether it’s hiking along the shores of Lake Ontario or enjoying the many parks and trails scattered throughout the county.
March brings St. Patrick’s Day celebrations honoring Irish pride. The luck of the Irish is celebrated on March 8th, with an annual 5k run/walk through the east side of the city of Oswego. The day continues with the Oswego St. Patrick’s Day parade at 1 p.m. The parade begins on the east side of the city of Oswego and winds across the bridge through west side neighborhoods before ending near Wright’s Landing Marina. The fun continues throughout the day with local establishments offering live entertainment, Irish fare, and fun.
Spring also marks the return of racing excitement in Oswego County. During the spring and summer months, enthusiasts flock to the track, eager to witness high-speed action and local legends battling for victory. The roar of the engines kicks off the racing season at Fulton Speedway on April 25, with racing at Brewerton Speedway kicking off their season May 2. On Memorial Day weekend, Oswego Speedway’s “Steel Palace” kicks off their season on May 24.
As May approaches, thoughts turn to Memorial Day. Communities throughout Oswego County hold tributes to those who have served in the armed forces. The holiday weekend also signals the unofficial start of summer, with families heading to campgrounds, fishing spots, and barbecues to enjoy the great outdoors.
