Ithaca, NY is located right in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region, and the southern-most tip of beautiful Cayuga Lake.
Recent Update (Friday, June 20, 2008 @ 9:00 a.m.:
Please be advised that parking in city lots on Saturday and Sunday will cost $3 per day as a Special Event cost for these 2 days. While downtown parking is normally free in City lots on the weekend, the City will inaugurate a Special Event fee at all City lots for Festival Weekend to help defray some budget costs associated with the Festival. Which reminds us, if you would like to donate to the Festival, please do so at our ChipIn account located at the top right column of each web page. Believe it or not, we get no government funds to run this wonderful Festival.
No matter which road you are taking to get here, we encourage you to plan ahead and park at any of the suggested locations near the TCAT Bus Stops, as parking will be difficult near the Festival sites. Remember, with the purchase of your Ithaca Festival button for only $5, you can ride the TCAT Bus Line for FREE to any of the locations they serve, Friday through Sunday June 20-22nd, during their regular business hours.
