Fort Hill Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua has announced its 2026 fall and winter season, with a lineup that includes tribute acts, local performers, ballet and holiday programming.
The nonprofit performing arts center said the season is designed to offer a mix of classic rock, folk, jazz, bluegrass, ballet and community performances in its historic venue.
"This season reflects the variety and quality that our audiences have come to expect from Fort Hill," Executive Director Sueann Townsend said. "Whether you're drawn to classic rock, folk, jazz, bluegrass, ballet, or local talent, these performances create opportunities for our community to come together and experience the arts in meaningful ways."
The schedule opens Sept. 19 with Don Potter, a Rochester Music Hall of Fame inductee. Other fall performances include Turn to Stone: A Tribute to ELO on Sept. 26, Noise Pollution: A Tribute to AC/DC on Oct. 2, Seven Wonders on Oct. 4, Crystal Ship: A Tribute to The Doors on Oct. 24 and Chicago Transit on Nov. 6.
Fiddlers of the Genesee will perform Nov. 8. Rochester City Ballet will present The Nutcracker from Dec. 4-6, and Connie Fredericks-Malone will perform a holiday concert Dec. 12.
Fort Hill also plans to bring back the Ewing Forum speaker series during the season. Speaker announcements and program details will be released later.
Tickets are available at fhpac.org or through the venue's box office.
