Upstate New York Winter Weather Open Air Beer Festival canceled due to…winter weather

Oneonta, NY — Snommegang, an annual open-air beer festival to celebrate snowy winters in upstate New York, has been canceled due to an impending snowstorm.

The festival was scheduled to take place at Muller Plaza in downtown Oneonta from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm this Saturday (March 4). The event is traditionally held outdoors and under tents. It is organized by Festival Producer America On Tap and Townsquare Media in collaboration with Cooperstown-based Ommegang Brewery.

A casual storm mixed with snow, ice and freezing rain is due to cross large areas of upstate New York on Friday and Saturday. According to forecasters, more snow is likely to fall than similar snow fell in the region earlier this week.

“Townsquare Media is disappointed to report that Snommegan has been canceled due to a snowstorm expected from Friday to Saturday morning,” Snommegan’s Facebook page said in a post. “All ticket holders will be automatically refunded. You can expect funds to be returned within 5-7 business days. If you have additional questions, please email [email protected].”

The first Snommegan, officially called the Snommegan Invitational Beer Festival, was held in downtown Oneonta in 2012 before expanding to Lake Placid.

Visitors traditionally gather to enjoy outdoor beers before heading to bars and other venues throughout the city in the evening.

Apart from Ommegang Brewery, other breweries expected to bottle beer at the festival include Sloop Brewing, Wolf Hollow Brewing, Night Shift Brewing, Big Alice Brewing and more. Live entertainment was to include the Mountain Jam Band.
