The Finger Lakes Thaw is a two day, multi-venue music festival that takes place in the many unique and intimate venues throughout the city of Ithaca, NY. Our mission is to provide a stage for local performers, but also to create opportunity for communities to see nationally-recognized artists, structured in a way that benefits the local community. The first annual Finger Lakes Thaw took place in March 2018, and will return in March 22-23, 2019.
