GlassFest 2025

Kick off your summer in downtown Corning every year with GlassFest! Join us for our annual three-day long glass and fire arts celebration in America’s Crystal City. Discover Corning, New York's rich history of world-class glass production, as you experience live musical performances, glass exhibits, art vendors, mouthwatering food and drinks, and special shopping promotions! Stroll down historic Market Street for pop-up entertainment, dining, shopping, and family activities. Grab your lawn chairs or a blanket and bring the family to watch headliner acts at the Rock The Park stage in our Riverfront Park. Saturday night always ends with a not-to-be-missed fireworks display over the Chemung River. The multi-day event concludes on Sunday with a Memorial Day Tribute on Riverfront Park's Rock The Park stage.
