Finger Lakes Winter Carnival

The Finger Lakes are launching the first annual Finger Lakes Winter Carnival from Friday, March 18 through Sunday, March 20, 2022, and you’re invited.

The annual event on Canandaigua Lake is all about enjoying winter in the unique region, with fun for all ages, and lots of activities, food, live music and more.

Local shops, restaurants, food trucks, and businesses will participate in the activities, with fireworks on Friday night over the lake. There will also be free tastings, demonstrations, and giveaways at the Winter Carnival Barn at The Lake House on Canandaigua.

Finger Lakes Winter Carnival 2022 is a joint event by Visit Finger Lakes, the Canandaigua Chamber and BID, Bristol Mountain, Wine & Craft Beverage Trails, and The Lake House on Canandaigua.
