Oneonta Downtown Renaissance by Cassandra Miller
Oneonta Celebrates Water Street Businesses, Holiday Parade
After more than a year of construction, downtown Oneonta is beginning to showcase the fruits of its labor with the completion of the Water Street streetscape project. This revitalized area offers a fresh and inviting pathway to explore the diverse businesses that call Water Street home. To celebrate this milestone and encourage community engagement, the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce is hosting a “Water Street Re-Opening” this Friday, December 6, from noon to 2 p.m.
The event is more than a celebration—it’s an opportunity to support businesses like the Black Oak Tavern, Hollywood Barber, Otsego Bicycles, Hair of the Dog, Asian Cuisine, and Sip and Sail Tavern, which faced challenges during construction.
The Black Oak is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month, with a weekend of special entertainment from December 27–29, featuring Oak favorites Mopar Cams, Trojan Horns and Gourd. The Oak is a cozy “townie” bar with great live music and craft beer selections.
