The citywide party begins Monday with a 7 p.m. outdoor concert at Founders Park and concludes Saturday with a fireworks display there. Syracuse City officials said Heritage Days has evolved from A 1987 Bicentennial celebration of the U.S. Constitution held in September to a celebration involving thousands. ..

Thurgood said the cost of the celebration to the city is between $3,000 and $5,000, and most of those dollars are used to buy fireworks.
