Tips when traveling
Best time to visit
The Finger Lakes is a year-round destination, but fall’s brilliant foliage is a favorite. Spring blooms, summer lake life, cozy winter escapes, and festivals each bring their own charm. Many wineries, museums, and trails remain open and welcoming in every season, offering accessible experiences no matter when you visit.
Climate
Enjoy four distinct seasons in the Finger Lakes. Warm summers are perfect for lakeside adventures, crisp autumn days bring colorful foliage, spring offers fresh blooms and outdoor festivals, and winters are cozy for museum visits or snowy getaways. Whatever the season, there’s beauty and comfort to enjoy.
Events
Celebrate year-round with signature events: the Rochester International Jazz Festival in summer, the Wildflower Festival in spring, and the It’s a Wonderful Life Festival in winter. Many feature accessible venues, ASL interpretation, and inclusive spaces, ensuring music, culture, and community are open to all.
Recommendations
Sip your way through the wine and cider trails, hike to stunning waterfalls, or browse farm markets for seasonal flavors. Visit the Corning Museum of Glass, Women’s Rights National Historical Park, and explore vibrant small towns. Accessible parks, trails, and attractions make it easy for everyone to experience the region.
