Canandaigua’s fourth annual Finger Lakes Winter Carnival kicks off Friday, celebrating the season with local artisans, culinary delights, and family-friendly activities across three venues: The Lake House, Bristol Mountain, and New York Kitchen.
The three-day event features a curated shopping experience at Bristol Mountain (Jan. 17-18), tastings of local wines and craft beers at New York Kitchen (Jan. 18), and the main Winter Carnival at The Lake House Event Barn (Jan. 18-19). Organizers highlight Canandaigua’s charm and community warmth as a year-round destination.
Supported by a Market New York grant, the carnival invites visitors to enjoy the magic of the Finger Lakes through unique goods, award-winning flavors, and memorable experiences.
