Ithaca hosts their annual Holiday Festival right in the Commons! Be prepared for 5 foot Gingerbread houses, the largest ice sculpture competition in Central New York, a variety of decorations and don't miss when Santa Claus comes to town! Don't forget to support your local owners and artists with National Buy Local Week and the Local Lover Challenge! http://www.localfirstithaca.org/
It's that time of year again and many people are going out and picking out that perfect Christmas tree, why not cut it down yourself!? You can at the Mary Christmas tree farm! http://pickyourownchristmastree.org/
Hope you didn't miss the 14th annual Tru-Ulysses Festival in Trumansburg! There were fireworks, a variety of food and entertainment, artists and vendors, a performance by Hilby the German Juggle Boy and so much more! http://tru-ulysseswinterfest.org/
Visit the Ithaca Farmer's Market in the summer or fall and talk to the vendors who grow their own foods and make their own products - nothing is store-bought! http://www.ithacamarket.com/
Come taste the great food at the Iron Kettle Farm including hot apple cider and kettle corn! A great way to get into the Halloween spirit by buying pumpkins and finding your way through the corn maze. Don't forget to say hello to the variety of animals too! http://www.ironkettlefarm.com/
College kids and Ithaca residents add a bit of danger to their lives when they go to the gorges and jump off of 20 foot, 40 foot and 60 foot cliffs. It's a great way to cool off but most certainly illegal.
