Corning’s Gaffer District presents the 2024 installment of the annual Harvest Fest. The festival will take place on Sept 20 and Sept 21 on historic Market Street in Corning, NY.
Harvest Fest is the annual celebration in downtown Corning, NY that welcomes the Fall season from Friday, Sept 20, through Saturday, Sept 21. On the five blocks of historic Market Street, experience over 200 vendors, a scarecrow contest, highland cows, stilt walkers, horse-drawn wagon rides, music performances, hayrides, and more. The Gaffer District has announced Williams Toyota as the title sponsor of Harvest Fest 2024.
On every block of Market Street, the streets will be blocked off for pedestrian access on both Friday and Saturday. There will be food from local vendors, as well as outdoor dining from beloved restaurants of the community. Both local businesses, and farmers will have booths set up and live music will be performed. Some special events include a sports car show in Centerway Parking Garage from 5-8 on Friday and a cornhole tournament at the Radisson Hotel Corning on Saturday. You will also have the opportunity to check out some of Corning’s most prominent landmarks such as the Little Joe Tower, Centerway Square, and more.
Coleen Fabrizi, the Executive Director of Corning’s Gaffer District Inc. says, “It doesn’t matter if your idea of the perfect Fall event is something mellow with great shopping and great food options or a list of fun activities and great tunes, this Harvest event is going to be at the top of your list, we can’t wait to welcome you all!”
