While the rest of the world hibernates, we come to life.

Winter in Canandaigua is an initiative available to all, born out of the desire to celebrate what makes our area the coolest during the winter months. Participate by using the hashtag #WinterInCanandaigua when you share your FLX-based experiences this winter. You celebrate winter, and we'll celebrate you.
