2026 Convention NEWS!
Updated: January 31st, 2026
The American Legion Department of New York Convention will return to Syracuse, New York, from July 15 to 18, 2026.
Our Final Report for the 2025 Convention can be found at the bottom of this page.
This year, the 108th Convention, all three conventions—the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion—will be held together at the Marriott Downtown Syracuse. We are grateful to the Marriott Downtown staff for helping make this possible.
Below you’ll find hotel information and booking links. The links are not active yet, as we are waiting to consult with the Department of New York. They should be available by February 6th, 2026.
This year’s convention activities include two Post Crawl events—one on Thursday, July 16, and another on Friday, July 17. Local VFWs are joining us to welcome Legionnaires to Syracuse, and we plan to start earlier in the afternoon. The Skaneateles Lake Cruise and Reception will take place on Friday, ending with a cigar and bourbon soiree at Skaneateles Post 239.
Seating is limited for all of our events, so please RSVP by emailing onondagavets@gmail.com with your name and the event you’d like to attend. You can also use the contact link on this website. We will have a sign-up at convention registration, but it will be first come first serve.
Check back here for updates. If you have questions, contact us using the form on this site.
