The iconic Finger Lakes Wine Festival has been replaced by the family-friendly FLX Summer Fest at Watkins Glen, running July 18-20. The new event will showcase live music, local crafts, food, beverages, and activities for all ages, celebrating the region’s culture and summer spirit.
The Finger Lakes Wine Festival, which began in 1994 and grew to include over 90 wineries and 20,000 visitors, ended its run after decades of success. Highlights like the toga party and beer garden drew national acclaim before the pandemic disrupted its tradition.
Tickets go on sale January 27.
