2012 Festival Overview

Each year the festival has an overarching theme to which all festival features, events and merchandise are related. The 2012 theme is Finger Lakes Luau. This theme will allow for the creation of many wonderful festival parade floats, performances and works of art.

The festival is made up of many different components of community involvement. If you wish to participate in the festival as a parade entry, performer or performing group, volunteer, food or craft vendor, or tabler please complete the appropriate application. All applications are available on the Application page or by clicking here. Applications are available now and deadline March 17th.

This year the festival will take place all four days downtown on the Ithaca Commons. For just this year the festival will forego the traditional move to Stewart Park on Sunday. This will allow for new and exciting programming to take place in an expanded footprint downtown. Be assured that the festival will continue to offer all the same great variety of fun and entertainment, creativity and whimsy as it does every year.
