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!

SOUK
SOUK at the Conservatory

SOUK performs traditional Arabic and Turkish instrumental music, with focus on Maqam and Iqa, the scales and rhythms that define these traditions. Nikolai Ruskin plays Oud and Nay, with Dara Annissi and Jesse Koennecke on darbuka and riq. Souk was formed in October, 2010 by Nikolai Ruskin with fellow musicians who have been performing together for nearly twenty years.

Souk’s goal is to create an atmosphere that ranges from relaxing background music to exciting dance music, and to share the sound of the Middle East in a way that listeners from all walks of life might connect with. Their name is the Arabic word for market, Souk (also Souq or Suq; pronounced sook). Historically, souqs were held outside of cities in the location where caravans loaded with goods would stop and merchants would display their goods for sale. At that time, souqs were more than just a market to buy and sell goods; they were also major festivals and many cultural and social activities took place in them. Just as the souq is a market place where many goods are available to peruse, 'Souk: Middle Eastern Grooves' offers their variety of musical wares in hopes that there will be something for all of their listeners to enjoy.

The festival concludes on Sunday with the Bells of Bedford Falls which will ring in honor of those angels who have made a difference in your life.

Visiting the festival is free and a great way to catch the holiday spirit early. Parking is never an issue as you can park in the Mynderse Academy Parking lots (105 Troy St.) and take the free shuttle to Fall St. There are many wonderful shops and vendors to visit! Get some Christmas shopping done and stop at any of our wonderful local eateries to grab a drink or a bite to eat with friends.

For our media friends - live remote opportunities and human interest stories abound here. Set up on Fall St. on Saturday to broadcast as hundreds stroll past yelling Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Images and people from the festival make for compelling stories - check out the Wonderful Run 5K, the horse-drawn wagon rides and the parade to name just a few!

Ithaca Farmers Market: 22nd Annual International Rutabaga Curl

If you call yourself a true Ithacan you just can't miss this community event. Celebrate the beginning of winter and the bountiful harvest we had this growing season by hurling some root vegetables!

 

The 22nd annual Rutabaga Curl will be held at the Ithaca Farmers Market pavilion at Steamboat Landing on the last outdoor Saturday market, December 21, 2018. The registration table will open at 10:30am and will close at 11:45am. Games will open with the annual Turnip Toss for younger contestants and The Curl immediately follows at 12:30pm, where more than 100 athletes are expected to play. Community members are encouraged to sign up to be part of the competition or to sit back and enjoy the show! Find us at 545 3rd St., Ithaca, NY 14850.

 

Bring the whole family to this wild, wacky, ridiculous participatory-theater event. The MCs keep things moving and keep the crowds entertained, the referees tightly control the hilarious competition while protestors, a chorus, instrumentalists, camera/radio crews and more add to the ambiance. You will learn more rutabaga lore than you ever knew existed.

 

The Rutabaga God and Goddess arrive at high noon carrying the rutabaga torch, after an arduous journey from Mt. Cruciferous. This is followed by the Parade of the Athletes, full of people and creatures costumes are encouraged! After a few brief ceremonies we get right into the games themselves. We are expecting a performance of the “Rutabaga Chorus” from the Vociferous Cruciferous crew.

The GAMES BEGIN with a ceremonial toss by a local celebrity. Don’t be nervous, rutabaga curling is EASY! Athletes stay behind the start line and toss their numbered vegetable down a long chute, which opens into a bullseye target area. At the end of each heat, the vegetables closest to the center of the bulls-eye advance to the championship round. Top 3 players get awards! Come alone or bring a team.

 

Come to the Curl! Dress up, dress warm, throw a 'baga! You might even win!  The Ithaca Farmers Market will run from 10am-2pm during the curl - with farm, food and artisan vendors selling their wares.
