Your guide to experiencing Summer in Downtown Corning!

Hey, I’m Matthew, your friendly neighborhood Marketing Manager from the Gaffer District. Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wish there were a ton of events happening in downtown Corning each week all summer long that I could bring all of my friends and family to without paying a cent because most of them are FREE." (I'm sure most of you have used those exact words!)? Well, good thing you’re reading this blog because I’m about to provide you with a complete guide to experiencing Summer in Downtown Corning this year. So, grab your reading glasses, something to write with, and get ready to plan your summer itinerary!

Corning Farmers' Market- Free Event

There's nothing more central to the identity of the Southern Finger Lakes than fresh fruits and vegetables. While we're on the topic of vegetables, I have a serious question for you: Are carrots sweet? This is a hot topic of debate in my household every time carrots come up in a conversation (Weirdly enough, this happens more than you think!). Just so you know, the only right answer is that carrots are indeed not sweet. Still, whether you agree with me or not, you'll discover anything your kitchen could be calling for including locally produced honey, freshly picked vegetables, bouquets of flowers, Finger Lakes ciders, and more at the Corning Farmers' Market. Stop by Riverfront Centennial Park every Thursday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm until October 27th, 2022.

Music in the Square- Free Event

Is it actually Summer in Downtown Corning without a ton of live music and entertainment? I don't think so either!

Northside Music Series- Free Event

Live music in downtown Corning this summer doesn't stop with Music in the Square. Mark your calendars each Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm until August 23rd, 2022 for the return of the Gaffer District's Northside Music Series!

Williams Toyota presents Storytime in Centerway Square- Free Event

You're never too old to enjoy storytime, right? At least that's what I tell myself! So, make sure to gather the kids and join me downtown every other Tuesday at 10:30 am for Williams Toyota presents Storytime in Centerway Square!
