Seneca Sounds Music Festival

Seneca Sounds is a one-day music and arts festival celebrating the musicians and creative community of the Finger Lakes. Doors open at 3pm with performances and activities continuing until 11pm. Kids’ Corner will be open 3-7pm. [Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.]

Families can spend time in the dedicated Kids’ Corner, with activities presented by the Dove Block Project and the Boys & Girls Club. Guests can browse work from local artists including Finger Lakes Film Festival, North Ferry Hats, Slippery When Waxed, and enjoy a fire dancing performance after dark!

This inaugural celebration is made possible by the collective enthusiasm and financial support of its nonprofit partners, Geneva Local Development Corporation and Geneva Community Projects, the regional music, arts, makers and food communities, and The Cracker Factory. With festivalgoer’s embracing it as their own, Seneca Sounds will become a tentpole of the Finger Lakes events calendar and a point of pride for Geneva. Affordable ticket pricing is central to the festival’s goal of creating an event that is welcoming and accessible to families and anyone looking to experience something new.

Festival organizers Lindsey Dean and Ella Skinner have been building momentum with Seneca Sessions, a series of free concerts highlighting regional artists. Their fourth and final installment, featuring The Cool Club + The Lipker Sisters at The Cracker Factory on August 21, will serve as a fundraiser for Seneca Sounds. 

Throughout the day, the festival brings together regional bands, performance artists, local food & art vendors, and music lovers of all ages for an experience rooted in discovery, connection, and live performance. Expect 2 stages, music all day, food, drink, kids' activities, art vendors, interactive art, and performance art. Rain or shine, we've got you covered.

 

Held both inside and outside at The Cracker Factory in Geneva, New York, the festival is part of the broader Seneca Sounds series, which hosts live events throughout the year leading up to the annual festival.
