Mohawk Valley Today Featured Weekend Events

We asked and you answered!

Every Wednesday we’ll reach out on social media and ask which events across the Mohawk Valley our followers would like to see highlighted on Mohawk Valley Today for the upcoming weekend. We’re looking for events from the region’s Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego and Schoharie counties.

In order to be highlighted as a featured event, all you have to do is respond to our shoutout each Wednesday on social media with a comment and photo or image about your upcoming event.
