GUS MACKER

July 17, 18 and 19, 2026

This July, downtown Elmira transforms into a vibrant basketball festival as the Gus Macker 3-on-3 tournament takes over downtown Elmira.

Neighborhood streets around Wisner Park are closed off, hoops go up, and teams of all ages and skill levels hit the courts. Everyone from kids and moms/dads playing for fun, to serious competitors vying for trophies.

​

With dunk contests, a celebrity-kickoff game (featuring local figures like the local Fire Fighters and EPD), food vendors, music and hundreds of players, this event brings the community together for a weekend of fun, energy and inclusive competition.
