Spring & Summer Travel Issue

Welcome to spring and summertime in Livingston County, New York! Escape the everyday, savor the seasons, and find your rhythm in the heart of the Genesee River Valley. We invite you to experience the transformation of our landscape as the quiet of spring awakens into the vibrant energy of summer in Livingston County.

Spring welcomes you to a world revived, where the landscape transforms into a plush carpet of green. Kick off festival season with a trip to the Tree Peony Festival at Linwood Gardens or head south to Dansville for their annual Dogwood Festival. These events offer a deep connection to our land and community, inviting you to explore charming Main Streets and local breweries.

As spring waterfalls give way to golden summer hours, the rhythm shifts to the effortless flow of lake life. Summer features an exciting lineup of events, including the NYS Yoga Festival, the historic Hemlock “Little World’s” Fair, and the spectacular Geneseo Airshow at the National Warplane Museum. You won’t want to miss one of LivCo’s most popular days of the year, July 3rd, when the Ring of Fire surrounds Conesus Lake, or the Avon Corn Festival in August.

Whether you’re kayaking the Genesee River or enjoying farm-to-table dinners, every moment here is an opportunity to create lasting memories. This guide is your key to unlocking the best of Livingston County. Come explore, relax, and savor the experiences that truly matter in one of New York’s most picturesque destinations.
