Visit Binghamton
Nestled in the scenic hills of Upstate New York, Binghamton is a county with a big heart and even bigger stories.

Wander accessible riverside parks, experience the groundbreaking LUMA Projection Arts Festival, and savor local flavor at Spiedie Fest & Balloon Rally. The county is thoughtfully designed for travelers of all abilities, offering inclusive playgrounds, sensory-friendly museums, and wheelchair accessible trails.

Spring and winter provide quieter moments for museum visits and cozy cultural experiences, making it a great getaway any time of year.
Climate
Binghamton experiences all four seasons, with warm summers ideal for festivals and outdoor fun, and crisp, colorful autumns that delight leaf-peepers. Winters are snowy but manageable—perfect for museum hopping and indoor activities—while spring brings refreshing blooms and mild temperatures. No matter the season, there’s always a reason to explore.
Events
Binghamton shines with festive energy all year. In June, we show our “rainbow” support at events like Pride Palooza in the Park. For more than a decade, En-Joie Golf Club in Endicott has hosted the award-winning PGA Tour Champions’ DICK’S Sporting Goods Open. August brings Spiedie Fest & Balloon Rally, celebrating the area’s signature dish with balloons and live music. September lights up with LUMA, the nation’s largest projection arts festival. Our art galleries and creative spaces come alive every month for the First Friday Art Walk. These signature events reflect the county's creative spirit and tight-knit community.
