Harvest is here. And no, we’re not talking about grapes – although the annual Finger Lakes Wine Country harvest is in full swing. The harvest we’re talking about is HARVEST, a one-day seasonal celebration hosted in the heart of Downtown Corning.
The event is held this Saturday, September 22, from 12-7pm. For those of you who are unaware, September 22 is also the Fall Equinox, or the First Day of Autumn.
This year’s HARVEST features complimentary wooden pumpkin painting, a scarecrow building challenge, a pie contest, tractor displays, and other family friendly harvest-inspired activities. Gaffer District restaurants will put their best soups to the test in an inaugural soup-off, and patrons will be able to enjoy seasonal foods at long community tables situated up and down Market Street. A special Farmers Market will also be available – perfect for people who have difficulty visiting it during it’s regular Thursday hours.
Finally, it wouldn’t be a festival without a series of performances by local and regional musicians. Visitors will have not one, but three opportunities to enjoy live music while they stroll Market Street. The performances are as follows:
Centerway Stage
12:30-1:45 PM “Rebecca and The Soul Shakers
2:15-3:30 PM “Me & Red”
4:00-5:15 PM “Uptown Groove”
5:45-7:00 PM “The Town Pants”
Val Reep Fountain Stage (Near Market Street Brewing Co.):
12:00-1:15 PM “Brian Murphy” (Xylophone)
1:45-3:00 PM “Brothers Grateful”
3:30-4:45 PM “Elmer Darlin’ Duo”
5:15-6:30 PM “Art & Noah Blues”
Centennial Sculpture Stage (near Radisson Hotel):
