Unfortunately we couldn't see 90% of the show…read morebecause the people in several rows in front of us in the covered seating chose to stand for almost the entire concert. We couldn't even see the projection screens over their heads or between their bodies. So be forewarned, if you're not able to stand for the entire show, you might not be able to actually see it. We're still glad we went, but having spent almost $300 a piece with fees for resold tickets on Ticketmaster, it would have been nice to actually be able to see the show.

In 1983 the Finger Lakes Performing Arts Center was founded. It was opened on the Finger Lakes…read moreCommunity College campus by Marvin Sands, founder of Canandaigua Wine Company, and other community leaders. Marvin founded CMAC (Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center) because he realized the important role that arts and culture play in the quality of the community. In 2006, this $13.5 million concert facility came as the result of a privately-funded undertaking through the sale of 54 VIP boxes and Constellation Brands secured the naming rights. CMAC features 5,000 covered seats and lawn seating for up to 10,000 guests. My wife and I recently attended a concert at CMAC for the first time and had a great experience. We had no issues getting in or out (we did arrive and leave a little early, admittedly), had a great view of the stage even though we were just a couple rows before the lawn seats, and sound quality was great. There were food/drink options, a large area for merchandise, and easily accessible bathrooms in several spots. Our only issues were - 1. the pricing of food/drinks, but food/drink at concerts are ridiculously priced no matter where you go, and you are allowed to bring in an empty water bottle to fill. 2. There are "VIP" parking passes offered that are closer to the venue, but only at the time tickets go on sale THROUGH Ticketmaster - as first timers, we had no idea this even existed. Although, after going, we would never pay extra for VIP seating anyway, as the walk from the "general" parking lot to the venue was short and extremely easy. It was mostly the lack of communication about the availability. We'd definitely go back for another show.

The theatre itself a repurposed church, replete with pews for seating (gorgeous on the eyes, less kind on the tushy if you're settling in for a longer musical or play.) Like any good summer theater company, they turn shows around within a week and the sets are always top notch. In addition to their summer season, they offer a reading program for emerging writers where plays can be previewed by the Naples community, AND a summer education program for Naples students. The staff is wonderful and welcoming. BVT is my go-to for all things Finger Lakes entertainment, and I am looking forward to seeing what they have in store for summer 2019!

I absolutely love this Festival. I remember coming here when I was younger and enjoying the food…read moreand the events. Fast forward 20+ years, and I introduced it to my wife. It starts off with a nice pleasant drive through some really beautiful country along scenic Canandaigua Lake. We come in from the North, and since we arrive early in the morning parking is plentiful. However, there is a 10-15 minute walk to get to the center of the festival area. Along the way, you can look at the small stores selling their wares (books, records, etc.) and peruse the many garage sales that pop up along main street. When you arrive at the festival, you are hit with a three-fold attack of (1) great carnival food, (2) lots of arts and crafts vendors, and (3) live music and the cacophony of thousands of people in one space. Aside from the typical kettle corn, fried dough, and sausage sandwiches, you can feast on anything and everything that can be made with a grape... pies, cakes, cookies, cotton candy, ice cream, etc. Frankly, it is a bit overwhelming but in a wonderful way. We don't usually buy too many crafts or artwork (and if you do, be warned that you will need to carry it back to your car somehow) but we do enjoy some things that are just necessary on a day like this: Carnival Waffles (which you cannot get outside of Western NY, and asking about them will just lead to blank stares), grape pie, and lots of bottled water. Who has the best grape pie? If you read the signs, that will narrow it done but I try a new place every time and seem to enjoy them all. Grape pie tastes like blueberry + wine... yummy! There are wine vendors too, and a nearby winery offers tasting and I think tours though we have never done it. This festival takes the best things in life and combines them. Carnival food minus the weird looking carnys; beautiful New York fall scenery with lovely, sunny weather; amazing arts and crafts with plenty of useless made in China junk and dozens of yard sales thrown in, and people having fun. Just watch the bikers that try and ride down Main Street every year only to get stuck in traffic. Even then they are having a blast. The local school gets involved too with various fundraisers. Hint: when you buy food from the area next to the school, make sure you get all the ketchup you need before you go and sit down on the grassy knoll. Navigating the crowds to get the small things you forgot with your food is no fun. I cannot wait until September when I can go again!

On the other, crowds of people, money trap, long waits to get in and out of the village. Here's what's lacking: *Not much (good)entertainment *Everyone is selling anything and everything (junk included) *Crowded sidewalks where people stop directly in the middle without regard to the line of others behind them. *A long drive from the city Here's what I love: *Views of the lake on the drive down *Views of fall foliage *Joseph's Wayside Market *Grape pocket cookies from the church in the center of town *Jeni's Pies are the best *Plenty of (paid) parking at Hazlitt *Wine slushies from Hazlitt YUM! In the past there seemed to be more artisans, but this year it felt like there were vendors just selling anything. It felt overwhelming with so many people crammed in in the sidewalks. I'll admit it's a great walk from one end of town to the other. Make your way to the south end to check out Joseph's. If you've never been, it's worth the trip, just be prepared for people to stop in front of you without warning because they can't text and walk at the same time!

Having seen the movie many times, I was overjoyed to visit the museum, which contains a treasure trove of unique photos and artifacts related to the movie. While many of the items are replicas not used in the actual film, it's still a perfect place for fans of the movie to kill a bit of time perusing pictures of the cast members, some of which who visit the museum annually for events. Admission is a modest $5 donation, and they have a cute gift shop with items for purchase. Staff on site at the museum cannot have been any friendlier, and were willing to let us stay a few minutes even past the closing time as we had arrived shortly before they closed for the day. There is a perfect photo op spot to commemorate your bisit to "Bedford Falls." This particular museum is located in a temporary spot through 2026 while the original permanent museum is undergoing major construction and expansion. While I'm sure the permanent museum complete with theater.would be a perfect 5 out 5 rating from me, this temporary museum space was still a very enjoyable experience for me. If you are a fan of It's a Wonderful Life, make it a point to visit this museum in Seneca Falls. There is a bridge in town which served as inspiration for the bridge scene in the movie.

The museum itself is a small spot that is chock full of great photos and interesting stories about the movie and its cast, many of which were new to me. I learned some interesting tidbits and could definitely feel the care and appreciation with which the museum is curated. It is, though, very small, and surprisingly lacking in actual memorabilia--as explained up front, only 5 known movie props exist, most with private collectors. Perhaps unfair, but I guess I was expecting something a bit more. Still and all, worth a visit if you are visiting scenic Seneca Falls and the amazing Women's History National Park nearby. Make sure to walk over to the nearby bridge after your museum visit, which is definitely a convincing piece of this town's claim to be the "real" Bedford Falls.
