SYRACUSE -- A popular downtown festival is coming back to Clinton Square in Syracuse this summer.

This year, AmeriCU Credit Union's Taste of Syracuse will feature blues, brews and BBQ.

The event will feature food from restaurants across Central New York. There will also be live music on Saturday from 1 pm. To 7 p.m. By legendary bluesman Duke Robillard and his band, and Tyler Bryant and the The Shakedown. The group :38 Special will take center stage Saturday night. "We're excited to bring the blues back to downtown Syracuse," said Galaxy Events General Manager Pam Levine. "Blending the two biggest music festivals in town just seemed like a natural fit. No matter what you're looking for, musically or food wise, we truly can say we've got it at Taste of Syracuse."

The event will be held on Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2 in and around Clinton Square from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. both days.
