Harvest Festival

The Gaffer District invites you to Harvest in downtown Corning! Come explore our city as we close Historic Market Street to vehicle traffic for outdoor dining, live music, and on-street vending from our small businesses and farmers' market vendors. All events are Free (except horse & wagon rides) and open to the public. Due to the nature of the venue, guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs if desired.

We invite you to join us in our celebration of harvest time in the Southern Finger Lakes!
