Ithaca is known as a cultural oasis in Upstate NY and we are out to fully express the depth and range of talent that our small town has to offer.  Reality is that even the longest days of summer don't give us enough time to showcase it all, so we continue our daytime cruise into exploring the depths of our equally vibrant nightlife.

Famous I-Town venues like Castaways, Lost Dog Lounge, The Haunt, Chanti Loft, CSMA, Felicia's and others will be in full swing with a variety of visual art exhibits, live music, dancing, video projection and improv into the wee hours - so, please check out our impressive line-up of live performance for Thursday through Sunday Nights all over town!

To make everyone's life easier (and MUCH safer!) we will feature a bus service that circulates among the IthaCulture events for Friday and Saturday nights!  Enjoy multiple shows each evening and feel secure about your transportation all weekend, we'll make it easy!
