With the end of the pandemic a number of communities are restoring summer festivities. In Plattsburgh a number of events are planned throughout the summer with several occurring during a 10-day period starting Thursday.
Officials from the city of Plattsburgh and community organizations met at City Hall Tuesday afternoon to describe new and returning events planned for the summer.
Strand Center for the Arts Board President Tom McNichols said they are excited to be coming out of the pandemic and outlined a series of events.
“We also have a lot of new initiatives going on, McNichols said. Our DRI work is finishing up. Right after the 4th of July the MakerSpace will launch softly. Later this summer it will be fully operational for the public. And coming in short order we will announce starting in the fall the full theatre calendar. So we look forward to helping everybody out in the community, having you engaged.”
