The City of Binghamton was founded at the confluence of two great rivers, the Chenango and Susquehanna, and has long been home to opportunity, innovation and vibrant culture.

We’re home to Binghamton University, a world-class higher education institution and the premier public university in the Northeast. Binghamton University’s high-tech business incubator and University Downtown Center, which is home to the College of Community and Public Affairs, are anchor educational centers in the region.

Binghamton’s small-city culture features year-round events that draw thousands from around the region to our revitalized urban core. A monthly First Friday Art Walk brings visitors through downtown’s ever-expanding network of art galleries and often into the many new restaurants that have made Binghamton a food destination in recent years. Community members and visitors alike look forward to beloved annual events, such as the LUMA Projection Arts Festival, July Fest, Blues on the Bridge, Porchfest and the City’s famous St. Patrick's Parade Day. 

Binghamton was the childhood home of Rod Serling, famed American screenwriter, producer and creator of The Twilight Zone.

Binghamton also boasts cultural institutions like the Ross Park Zoo — the fifth-oldest zoo in America — and the adjacent Discovery Center that make our City a major family destination. The Binghamton Rumble Ponies, a Minor League Baseball affiliate of the New York Mets, provide entertainment for sports fans of all ages.

Binghamton’s natural environment features rolling hills, rivers and streams, complemented by a popular waterfront network of biking and walking trails. Our pristine parks and award-winning recreational programs are some of the finest in New York State.

We’re a welcoming and diverse city with strong neighborhoods and a rich history. I invite you to explore the City of Binghamton — an Upstate New York destination where opportunities converge.

Sincerely,

Mayor Jared M. Kraham
