If variety is the spice of life, then this is going to be one hot'n'spicey meatball-of-a-weekend here in beautiful Central New York.
In addition to the wide array music and theater events that take place every week, there are several special events worth noting.
Hot rod and specialty car enthusiasts will want to check out the hot wheels that will be rolling at the Syracuse Nationals Hot Rod show at the New York State Fairgrounds, Friday thru Sunday, July 18-20.

Folks looking to buy or just admire high-quality antiques will want to wander the paths and check out the antique deals to be had at shade-filled Longbranch Park in the Town of Geddes, just north of Liverpool. The nationally known Great American Antiquefest takes place at this lovely setting, Friday thru Sunday, July 18 -20.
And folks interested in listening to jazz and classical music in a relaxed urban setting should consider attending this weekend's edition of the Candlelight music series, on the corner of South Franklin and West Jefferson Street, in beautiful Armory Square in downtown Syracuse.
The Syracuse Symphony Orchestra performs at 8 pm at this free event, with a jazz trio opening the musical evening at 6:30 pm.
There are several fine restaurants on Franklin and Jefferson Streets that take outdoor seating reservations for these weekly Candlelight music events.
Or you can bring your own chair, find your spot, and then listen to some great music, surrounded by a friendly crowd and impressively varied architecture.
Here's a few Heads-Up for more events coming to downtown Syracuse in the next few weeks:
ARTSWEEK - July 24 - 27
featuring the Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival at Columbus Circle, July 25-27; and
Jazz in the Square, at Clinton and Hanover Squares - July 24 - 26
