Finger Lakes Events Calendar

Festivals, Happy Hour, Live Music, Theatre, and More!

It doesn’t matter what your interests are or who you’re in the Finger Lakes with, you can always find a great event to enrich your time in the region with those you care about. 

Events take place all year round in the Finger Lakes region. From lakeside (and on the lake) events in the summer to harvest activities in the fall, snowmobiling or snowshoeing in the winter, and festivals in the springtime! Step inside a glassmaker’s studio to blow your own glass, stroll Main Street on a food tour, or gather for live music and theater performances. Browse the list of Finger Lakes events below or search the specific dates you will be visiting to see everything going on in the region.

Great Events that Happen Every Year

Below, you will find dozens of great events happening throughout the year with many of them happening annually. If you have memories of favorite annual Finger Lakes events from childhood such as cardboard boat regattas, hot air balloon festivals, cheese, apple or pumpkin festivals, to name a few, it’s likely that event that still takes place or, has likely improved your enjoyment. If you see a special event that piques your interest but can’t make it, click on the event anyway, it might be coming back next year!

Events Added Daily

Make sure to check back frequently to see if any other great events have been added. Events are added daily by businesses from every sector and interest so if there is nothing that sparks your interest now, there very well could be soon!

A SWEEPING ROMANCE THAT LIFTS YOU UP WHERE YOU BELONG!

AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, based on the Oscar-winning film starring Richard Gere, is a breathtaking production that celebrates triumph over adversity and includes one of the most iconic and romantic endings ever portrayed on screen. Featuring the Grammy Award winning,#1 hit single ‘Up Where We Belong’, and a score based on the 1980’s catalogue of music that gave voice to a generation, the live stage production is a new adaptation by multiple Tony Awards nominee Dick Scanlan (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Everyday Rapture), based on the original screenplay by Douglas Day Stewart. The musical is directed by Scanlan with choreography by Patricia Wilcox (Motown, A Night with Janis Joplin). Zack Mayo’s got smarts and a body built for US Navy pilot boot camp, but he also has too much swagger… until he meets a drill sergeant who’s determined to drill his arrogance out of him. Zack finds comfort in the arms of a local factory girl. But it isn’t until tragedy befalls a fellow candidate that Zack learns the importance of love and friendship, and finds the courage to be his best self and win the heart of the woman he loves.

The Clemens Center will follow all NYS guidelines for operation at the time of the performances.

Spirits of the Past: A Walk in the Dark

Join us again this year for a spectacularly spooky event, Spirits of the Past: A Walk in the Dark!

Spirits of the Past runs for two weekends in 2021:
- Friday, October 15, Saturday, October 16, and Sunday, October 17
- Friday, October 22, Saturday, October 23, and Sunday, October 24

When Autumn shadows are long and the sun goes down, the Historic Village cloaks itself in an atmosphere unlike any other! Join us for Spirits of the Past: A Walk in the Dark! At night the villagers will surprise you with their creepier side by telling you spine-tingling tales. Beware! Body snatchers, gravediggers, witches, and prowlers are lurking about. As you depart from the Toll House with your guide, the once familiar and welcoming Historic Village becomes strange and ominous. The hour you spend traveling paths less trodden and seeing things you never will in the daylight may seem to go on forever.

Groups of about 25 brave souls will depart from the Toll House every ten minutes (get your token at admission when you arrive).

Victoria Romanoff
Romanoff Redux - The TCFA 2021 Fall Invitational Gala

The Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts is honored to feature a solo show of Trumansburg resident Victoria Romanoff for the 2021 Fall Invitational. Romanoff's intense colors and strong composition illustrate an individual style that has both humor and warmth.

Written & Performed by LeLand Gantt
Directorial Consultant Estelle Parsons
Developed at Actors Studio

“I’m just trying to start a conversation.” — CREATOR LELAND GANTT

Written and performed by LeLand Gantt and developed at NYC’s Actors Studio by Estelle Parsons, Rhapsody in Black is a one-man show that explores LeLand’s personal journey to understand and eventually transcend racism in America. We follow his life story — from an underprivileged childhood in the ghettos of McKeesport, Pennsylvania to teenage experiments with crime and drugs to scholastic achievement and an acting career that land adult LeLand in situations where he is virtually the only African-American in the room. His efforts to cope with the various psychological effects of consistently being marked “The Other” is recounted in remarkable and exquisitely moving detail, guaranteed to leave lasting impressions. Multiple elements combine to give Rhapsody its super-powered emotional punch, many of them concentrated in the incredible persona of its star.

Charming, self-deprecatingly funny, linguistically awesome, LeLand Gantt imbues every word that falls from his mouth with all the passion and poignancy of a preacher speaking the Gospel. This is partly because he’s confronting heavy subjects, but mostly because he believes so firmly in his message that it’s impossible for it to emerge any other way. In his own words, “Objective truth strikes a chord.”

Please note that this show explores the topic of racism, and includes sensitive and difficult situations and language.

A MAGICAL TWO-PART FILM

SUNNY DAYS:

Feel, hear & smell the world around you. Roll in the long grass, scrunch it beneath your fingers & take a long deep breath. Sunny Days encapsulates the magic of being free, of moving with abandon, and playing in the outdoors. A dance film for little explorers.

NIGHT TREE:

Every year, in the middle of winter, we go into the forest to find our tree. Our special tree. We bundle up so we’re warm, with hats, gloves, shoes and coats. We travel through the trees. Among the leaves and muddy puddles. Listening to the birds sing. And watching for animals.
Come into the woods and dance as we go on a gentle, sensory journey through the beautiful wintery forest to find a very special tree…Squelch through mud, sip hot chocolate, and play amongst the pines! Night Tree is a magical two-part film based on Eve Bunting’s book of the same name.
The films are available with or without audio description and creative captions.

A note about Creative Captions
The company has worked with The Johnny Luu to animate and illustrate the narration of the films for young D/deaf audiences or anyone who enjoys reading and singing along!

Directorial Consultant Estelle Parsons
Developed at Actors Studio

“I’m just trying to start a conversation.” — CREATOR LELAND GANTT

Written and performed by LeLand Gantt and developed at NYC’s Actors Studio by Estelle Parsons, Rhapsody in Black is a one-man show that explores LeLand’s personal journey to understand and eventually transcend racism in America. We follow his life story — from an underprivileged childhood in the ghettos of McKeesport, Pennsylvania to teenage experiments with crime and drugs to scholastic achievement and an acting career that land adult LeLand in situations where he is virtually the only African-American in the room. His efforts to cope with the various psychological effects of consistently being marked “The Other” is recounted in remarkable and exquisitely moving detail, guaranteed to leave lasting impressions. Multiple elements combine to give Rhapsody its super-powered emotional punch, many of them concentrated in the incredible persona of its star.

Charming, self-deprecatingly funny, linguistically awesome, LeLand Gantt imbues every word that falls from his mouth with all the passion and poignancy of a preacher speaking the Gospel. This is partly because he’s confronting heavy subjects, but mostly because he believes so firmly in his message that it’s impossible for it to emerge any other way. In his own words, “Objective truth strikes a chord.”

Please note that this show explores the topic of racism, and includes sensitive and difficult situations and language.

A MAGICAL TWO-PART FILM

SUNNY DAYS:

Feel, hear & smell the world around you. Roll in the long grass, scrunch it beneath your fingers & take a long deep breath. Sunny Days encapsulates the magic of being free, of moving with abandon, and playing in the outdoors. A dance film for little explorers.

NIGHT TREE:

Every year, in the middle of winter, we go into the forest to find our tree. Our special tree. We bundle up so we’re warm, with hats, gloves, shoes and coats. We travel through the trees. Among the leaves and muddy puddles. Listening to the birds sing. And watching for animals.
Come into the woods and dance as we go on a gentle, sensory journey through the beautiful wintery forest to find a very special tree…Squelch through mud, sip hot chocolate, and play amongst the pines! Night Tree is a magical two-part film based on Eve Bunting’s book of the same name.
The films are available with or without audio description and creative captions.

A note about Creative Captions
The company has worked with The Johnny Luu to animate and illustrate the narration of the films for young D/deaf audiences or anyone who enjoys reading and singing along!

Fall Wagon Tour through The Historic Seneca Army Depot at Deer Haven Park
2nd Annual Fall Wagon Tours

Join us on Saturday, October 23rd at 11 AM and again at 4PM for our 2nd Annual FALL Wagon Tour through Deer Haven Park! 

You have seen the park from the comfort or your vehicle and even taken the white deer Bus Tour, now take a morning or afternoon open-air wagon ride through the former Seneca Army Depot! We will guide you through the unique habitat of Deer Haven Park where you will experience its vastness and the beauty of its flora and fauna as we discuss the historic importance of this former military munition storage base.

We will stop along the way, giving you the opportunity to get off the wagon and go inside one of the 122 abandon munition storage igloos in the park, and walk through a real personnel bunker from the WWII era. You will see the railroad loading platforms that served as the primary means of getting supplies in and out of the Depot, as well as several of the abandoned military storage buildings and the entrance to the high security area known as the “Q”, where nuclear armament and specialized weapons were stored.

The Second Annual Deer Haven Park Fall Wagon tour will be fun for the whole family! And if you have already had a chance to take the popular Deer Haven Park App-Guided Auto Tour, you won't want to miss the opportunity to actually step outside the vehicle and experience the park first-hand, up close and personal.

Come, explore the historic Seneca Army Depot with us on this special, one-day event and Discover Deer Haven Park!



Please note: In the interest of safety and social distancing, face masks must be worn while on board the wagons and whenever a safe distance cannot be maintained outside.  Tick repellant will be available for purchase at the Visitor Center.

Dog Man: The Musical | Virtual Event

presented by TheaterWorksUSA  

DOG MAN: THE MUSICAL

Available for Streaming Monday, October 25 – Sunday, November 7, 2021

 

Book & Lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila
Music by Brad Alexander
Direction and Choreography by Jen Wineman

Dog Man: The Musical is a hilarious new production based on the worldwide bestselling series from Dav Pilkey, the creator of Captain Underpants.

Best buds George and Harold have been creating comics for years, but now that they’re in 5th grade, they figure it’s time to level up and write a musical based on their favorite character, Dog Man, the crime-biting sensation who is part dog, part man, and ALL HERO!! How hard could it be?

With the head of a dog and the body of a policeman, Dog Man loves to fight crime and chew on the furniture. But while trying his best to be a good boy, can he save the city from Flippy the cyborg fish and his army of Beasty Buildings? Can he catch Petey, the world’s most evil cat, who has cloned himself to exact revenge on the doggy do-gooder? And will George and Harold finish their show before lunchtime?? Find out in this epic musical adventure featuring the hilarity and heart of Dav Pilkey’s beloved characters.

The show is written by Kevin Del Aguila and Brad Alexander, who collaborated on the Emmy-winning series Peg + Cat on PBS, TheaterWorksUSA’s Click, Clack, Moo, and the upcoming Clifford The Big Red Dog on PBS and Amazon. Jen Wineman directs and choreographs.

A MAGICAL TWO-PART FILM

SUNNY DAYS:

Feel, hear & smell the world around you. Roll in the long grass, scrunch it beneath your fingers & take a long deep breath. Sunny Days encapsulates the magic of being free, of moving with abandon, and playing in the outdoors. A dance film for little explorers.

NIGHT TREE:

Every year, in the middle of winter, we go into the forest to find our tree. Our special tree. We bundle up so we’re warm, with hats, gloves, shoes and coats. We travel through the trees. Among the leaves and muddy puddles. Listening to the birds sing. And watching for animals.
Come into the woods and dance as we go on a gentle, sensory journey through the beautiful wintery forest to find a very special tree…Squelch through mud, sip hot chocolate, and play amongst the pines! Night Tree is a magical two-part film based on Eve Bunting’s book of the same name.
The films are available with or without audio description and creative captions.

A note about Creative Captions
The company has worked with The Johnny Luu to animate and illustrate the narration of the films for young D/deaf audiences or anyone who enjoys reading and singing along!

Written & Performed by LeLand Gantt
Directorial Consultant Estelle Parsons
Developed at Actors Studio

“I’m just trying to start a conversation.” — CREATOR LELAND GANTT

Written and performed by LeLand Gantt and developed at NYC’s Actors Studio by Estelle Parsons, Rhapsody in Black is a one-man show that explores LeLand’s personal journey to understand and eventually transcend racism in America. We follow his life story — from an underprivileged childhood in the ghettos of McKeesport, Pennsylvania to teenage experiments with crime and drugs to scholastic achievement and an acting career that land adult LeLand in situations where he is virtually the only African-American in the room. His efforts to cope with the various psychological effects of consistently being marked “The Other” is recounted in remarkable and exquisitely moving detail, guaranteed to leave lasting impressions. Multiple elements combine to give Rhapsody its super-powered emotional punch, many of them concentrated in the incredible persona of its star.

Charming, self-deprecatingly funny, linguistically awesome, LeLand Gantt imbues every word that falls from his mouth with all the passion and poignancy of a preacher speaking the Gospel. This is partly because he’s confronting heavy subjects, but mostly because he believes so firmly in his message that it’s impossible for it to emerge any other way. In his own words, “Objective truth strikes a chord.”

Please note that this show explores the topic of racism, and includes sensitive and difficult situations and language.
