Now in its 4th year, the Winter Village Bluegrass Festival continues to bring the best acts in bluegrass music to Ithaca and the Finger Lakes. Our festival home, La Tourelle Resort, is a music lover’s paradise and great place to spend a January weekend. This year, Winter Village is excited to move the Saturday Night Big Show to the historic State Theatre of Ithaca, our community’s favorite music room. Join us for a weekend of hot music during our coldest month!
