About

Come be part of something bigger than yourself! OneHamp Festival is a celebration of Binghampton where neighbors, community organizations, local businesses, and volunteers come together to make a difference -- and have a whole lot of fun while doing it.

The OneHamp Festival brings together up to 1,000 Binghampton residents to celebrate the people, organizations, businesses, and community partners that make our neighborhood so vibrant. The festival is a collaborative effort of the Binghampton Development Corporation and the many local organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and partners working together to strengthen our community.

This year’s theme is UNITY, with a goal of creating a festival that truly reflects the entire Binghampton community coming together. Through food, music, activities, local vendors, community resources, and entertainment, OneHamp creates an opportunity for neighbors to connect, celebrate, and experience the people and organizations making a difference in Binghampton.

Volunteers are a big part of making it happen! Whether you’re helping with setup, welcoming guests, supporting activities, or lending a hand wherever it’s needed, you’ll be helping create a fun and memorable day for the entire community.
