Spring in the Finger Lakes

Spring in the Finger Lakes marks a season of transition, bidding farewell to the cold and welcoming warmer days with an array of flavors, history, and fun. Embrace the season in the Finger Lakes region and immerse yourself in a world of maple, women’s history, art, live music, outdoor recreation, and more.

Did you know that the Finger Lakes region is the heart of women’s history in the United States? Welcome spring during Women’s History Month by exploring women-owned businesses and discovering the Brave Women who helped shape our stories through unique events like Naples Women Weekend.

Savor the region’s fresh produce and farm-to-table flavors by stopping by local farmers markets, dining at area restaurants, or visiting wineries—then round out your spring adventure with a visit to one of the many unique maple farms celebrating Maple Weekends at the end of March, offering all things maple.

To enjoy the outdoors during this “not too cold, not too warm” time of year, check out annual events such as the Orchid Show and Plein Air Festival, the Bristol Mountain Spring Carnival, the Native American Winter Games, and the various derbies held around Ontario County. You can also hit the trails for hiking, go horseback riding, or even pet alpacas at Lazy Acre Alpaca.

Don’t miss the Geneva Music Festival, featuring four weeks of chamber, jazz, and bluegrass performances by world-renowned artists. While you’re here, get ready to welcome the seasonal openings of several Ontario County staples, including Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion and the Bark Longhouse at Ganondagan State Historic Site.
