Bristol Mountain Fall Festival: Chairlift Foliage Views and a Full October Day on the Finger Lakes

Bristol Mountain is a ski area most people in Rochester know as a winter destination. On October 10, it becomes something different: the Fall Festival transforms the mountain into an autumn celebration with activities, food, and entertainment — and the Fall Sky Rides send you up the chairlift to watch the foliage changing colors below your feet. It is one of the easiest elevated views of the Finger Lakes hills during peak fall color, and you do not need to earn it with a hike.

Date: Saturday, October 10, 2026 Time: TBD Location: Bristol Mountain, 5662 State Route 64, Canandaigua, NY Cost: TBD
