🎉 Blog Post: “Local Events That Make Binghamton Feel Like Home”

Buying a house is about more than just square footage or curb appeal—it’s about finding a place that feels like home. That’s one of the things I love most about Binghamton, NY. Our city is packed with charm, character, and community spirit—and nothing shows that off more than the events we gather for year after year.

Whether you’re new to the area or a longtime local, here are a few Binghamton events that highlight why so many people are proud to call this place home.

1. Spiedie Fest & Balloon Rally
This one’s a local legend! Held every August at Otsiningo Park, Spiedie Fest is a true celebration of Binghamton’s favorite grilled specialty: the spiedie. But it’s more than food—hot air balloon launches, live music, craft vendors, and family-friendly fun make it a weekend everyone looks forward to. It's the kind of event that makes you want to stay forever.

2. LUMA Projection Arts Festival
LUMA is the first festival in the U.S. dedicated to projection mapping—and it happens right here in downtown Binghamton. For one weekend in September, historic buildings become living works of art as light, animation, and storytelling bring the city’s architecture to life. It’s an incredible, one-of-a-kind experience that draws visitors from all over.

3. Binghamton Porchfest
Every summer, neighborhoods in the West Side transform into music venues for Porchfest, where front porches become stages and sidewalks fill with families, friends, and musicians. It’s grassroots, it’s joyful, and it reminds you how close-knit and creative our community really is.

4. Broome County Regional Farmers Market
Open year-round, this market is more than a place to grab local produce—it's a gathering spot. From handmade goods to fresh-baked treats, it’s a great way to support local businesses and connect with neighbors. Stop by on a Saturday morning, and you're sure to run into someone you know (or make a new friend).

5. Holiday Parades & Winter Celebrations
When the holidays roll around, Binghamton gets festive—from the Downtown Holiday Parade to tree lightings, craft fairs, and local light displays. There’s a strong sense of tradition and community pride that shines during the winter months, and it's a wonderful time to be a part of it all.

These events are just a few of the reasons I love living and working in Binghamton—and why I think it's such a special place to call home. If you’re thinking about making a move here, or you just want to talk more about what Binghamton has to offer, I’d love to help you explore the area.
