A popular summertime festival is getting a new name and a new look in 2025. Formally known as the Finger Lakes Wine Festival, “F.L.X. Summer Fest at the Glen” will take place at Watkins Glen International this summer.
Organizers say the three-day event is a “multi-day celebration that brings the community together through live music, local craftsmanship, and fantastic food and beverage options from the region.”
Summer Fest begins on Friday, July 18 with a kickoff party, then, Saturday brings the main action featuring a full day of family-friendly activities including interactive craft workshops, games, food and drink tastings, and local artisan markets. Those in attendance can also witness the high-speed action of cars going around the historic Watkins Glen track throughout the day. That Saturday night will culminate in a live music performance to celebrate the spirit of the Finger Lakes. F.L.X. Summer Fest at The Glen comes to an end on Sunday, July 20 with 5K Fun Run on the track at Watkins Glen. On-site camping will be available throughout that weekend, allowing festivalgoers to fully embrace the atmosphere of the event.
Camping tickets will be available on Jan. 27.
