Your festival event guide for Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, the Finger Lakes, Ithaca and all of Western New York State.

Welcome to Western New York State’s most comprehensive festival guide where you can find all of the music festivals, food festivals, cultural festivals, art festivals, historical festivals, wine and beer festivals and more in such cities as Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Elmira, Ithaca, the Finger Lakes area and everywhere in-between in Western New York.

If you want festival listings for specific areas of New York State, I currently have a listing for the Buffalo and Rochester Syracuse Areas.

This guide does NOT include county/animal fairs, conventions/expos or events lacking the 3 essentials of a festival (food, vendors and entertainment). Feel free to contact me if you have a question about your event.

Here are the counties that the Western New York State Festival Schedule reflects:

COUNTIES:

Allegany, Broome, Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chautauqua, Chemung, Cortland, Erie, Genesee, Jefferson, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara, Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Oswego, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, Wyoming, Yates

Also, please check dates and festival websites in links provided as time approaches, especially for any listings where there is an * (asterisk) next to the date. This means that the date is unconfirmed.

If there is a festival you do not see but would like listed, please Contact Me and let me know about it, especially smaller festivals that don’t have the advertising.
