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!

THE ROCKET MAN SHOW – Elton John Musical Tribute
THE ROCKET MAN SHOW – Elton John Musical Tribute

The Rocket Man Show is the #1 Elton John musical tribute. Hand-Picked by Elton John, Rus Anderson was the official body double for his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ world tour videos & photos. The Show matches Elton’s insane energy night after night. Recreating an early concert with gorgeous, colorful & flamboyant costumes actually worn by Elton – including boots, glasses & jumpsuits from 1973, as well as his sparkly tuxedo from 1984! With all the classic young Elton antics, audiences are in for a night of nostalgia, singing, laughing & participation. It is clearly the most authentic Elton John tribute show in the world. Rus Anderson has been officially hired by Elton John himself to re-enact the most memorable moments of his career.

Rus has put his extensive live & theatrical experience to work nightly, performing as a young Elton John in the tribute show ‘Rocket Man’. This has earned him an endorsement from the official Elton John Fan club & praise from many prestigious clients, including The Elton John AIDS Foundation. In the past year alone, The Rocket Man Show has appeared in all four corners of the USA. Rus is keeping the 70’s Elton alive by re-enacting his charisma, vocals, piano playing & costumes – the ones we all know & love!

Rus & his full band of merry crackerjack musicians are the very best in the business. The show is 100% live in both vocals & instrumentation. Absolutely no tracks or lip-syncing. The performance itself is an extremely sincere, intense & visual spectacle of a journey. There are ballads & driving rock songs. Audiences laugh, cry, sing & dance as they recall the highs & lows of Elton’s epic career.

“The next best thing to Elton John” – Tampa Bay Times.

“The Show Was Wonderful”- Mary Mitchell, LATW, The Elton John AIDS Foundation

“A show as extravagant as Elton’s career”- NBC Los Angeles

The Fertile River

A Play by Vincent Terrell Durham
Directed by J. Vaclav Michalec

Performed by the members of Face It! Theatre Company of Binghamton

 

Set in 1958, this compelling drama illuminates the violence of North Carolina’s eugenics program as an African American family struggles with the gathering realization of how the state came to call on them and what it intends for their children. An official visit by the eugenics agent ignites a collision with power, privilege, racism and social oppression.

Haunted Hotel Dinner & Murder Mystery
Haunted Hotel Dinner & Murder Mystery

Since 1864, The Bateman Hotel has been a place where guests can relax and conjure the days of refined luxury, romantic evenings and glittering nights. The new owner is hosting a soiree in honor of the anniversary of the hotel's reopening a year ago. If you decide to make a reservation for an overnight stay after the party, there are a few guest rooms to avoid due to reports of ill-spirited apparitions, steamy pockets of strange mist causing feelings of dread, sudden drops of temperature, and terrifying voices that echo in the corridors during the wee hours of the morning. Other than that, the old hotel is once again becoming the place to be in the town of Wraith's Cove. The infamous Quinn Bloom is on the VIP guest list and will bring a rare doll collection to the hotel - but don't let the dolls bother you - the rumors about them may not even be true. You wouldn't miss this party for the world. This is where your story begins.

Come join us at Plum Point Lodge as we try to get to the bottom of this murder. The game is afoot! The game, dinner, and drinks are all included. Things kick off at 6pm and you can expect the event to run till 10pm. Hurry as we only have limited slots. Packages with hotel rooms available at the Plum Point Lodge website.

Highwoods String band documentary and concert
Highwoods String band documentary and concert

Dance All Night – The Highwoods String band Story (2018) 
Directed by Larry Edelman. 

Following the screening of the film will be a special performance by The Original Fat City Stringband; Mac Benford, Walt Koken, and Bob Potts, with special guest, Jennifer Cleland

Doors open at 7pm. Tickets available for $10 at the door. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Conservatory.

About the documentary – In the 1970s, the Highwoods String band’s unique blend of musical brilliance, exuberance, sparkling wit, and eclectic repertoire introduced tens of thousands of delighted listeners to traditional old-time music. The Grammy-nominated band traveled extensively, playing major folk festivals across the U.S. and touring in Latin America and Europe, and released three albums on Rounder Records. The band also inspired countless other musicians and their influence on the music can still be heard today. Blending rare performance footage, photographs, sound recordings, and interviews, this colorful film aptly captures the spirit of the time and the joy and excitement generated by the band.

In 1941 Amsterdam, 13-year-old Anne Frank goes into hiding with her family from the Nazis. For the next two years, she never leaves the attic where her family is concealed. With fear of discovery ever present, Anne finds solace writing in her diary, capturing the daily lives of the secret annex’s inhabitants with wit, determination, and idealism.

With a multicultural cast, National Players brings the true story of this incredibly insightful young girl to the stage in hopes of inspiring the next generation to stand up for justice rather than sit back in apathy.

Everyone loves a parade, and Downtown Auburn is a great place to see one. On Saturday, November 30th the Downtown Auburn Business Improvement District and the City of Auburn will present “Miracle on Genesee Street,” and the 33rd Annual Holiday Parade. This parade is a popular custom, beginning at 6PM at the corner of East Genesee & N. Fulton Streets atop East Hill. It travels west along Genesee Street, through the heart of Downtown, and turns left onto William Street. It continues around the City Parking Garage on Lincoln Street and ends at Memorial City Hall.

Joe Salzone, the parade MC, and local dignitaries from the City will be located in front of Silbert Optical. Approximately 50 businesses and community organizations partake with floats, music and holiday performances. Past parade favorites include numerous county fire departments, Captain Jack & his Pirates for the Pantry ship, Skaneateles Dickens characters, and the always creative and over the top award-winning float by Skills USA at Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES. Cheer on your favorites, as participants compete for cash prizes in the top-three float competition.
