From the Forest to the Ocean at the Skaneateles Festival — A Chamber Music Evening by the Lake

The Skaneateles Festival — which the Boston Globe described as central New York's answer to Tanglewood — continues its 2026 season with From the Forest to the Ocean, an evening concert at the First Presbyterian Church in the village of Skaneateles. It's one of the final indoor concerts of the season, which closes August 22, and the church setting is part of what makes this festival unlike anything else in the Finger Lakes.

Date: Friday, August 14, 2026 Time: 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM Location: First Presbyterian Church, Skaneateles, NY Cost: TBD — tickets at skanfest.org

Visit skanfest.org for tickets and full concert information. Skaneateles village is walkable and beautiful — arrive early to browse the shops and watch the lake before the music begins.
