Ithaca Loves Teachers
Honoring preK-12 educators, Ithaca area businesses & attractions unite to host a community-wide celebration with over 150 activities, discounts, and events throughout Tompkins County. It's our way of saying thanks to educators everywhere for all of your hard work and dedication!
Ithaca Loves Teachers is open to all public and private school teachers, school district employees/staff, teacher union retirees, homeschool teachers, and childcare workers regardless of where you live. This year marks our 20th annual celebration!
Registration is free; sign up for the digital pass to view all special offer. To redeem deals and upon checking in to accommodations, please be prepared to show your school ID badge or equivalent, or proof of employment in education/teachers union retiree status. In mid-January 2025 we'll share a list of special offers and deals to browse. In the meantime mark your calendars for February 14th-28th, and visit www.visitithaca.com/ithaca-loves-teachers/ for events happening and to sign up for the mobile pass once it launches.
For discounts on overnight stays, go to the lodging coupons page -- hotel & inn deals are not listed on the digital pass. Plan to book in advance directly with the accommodation for the best rate.
