Spring in New York

Experience New York State in full bloom!

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy New York's scenic hiking trails from Giant Ledge in the Catskills to Breakneck Ridge on the Hudson River and many more outdoor adventures. Events are in full bloom at open-air festivals like Rochester's annual Lilac Festival and at many more flower shows throughout the state. Shed your winter coat and have some fun celebrating spring in New York State.

The season is buzzing with fresh aromas and tasty treats. Smell what's cooking at the hottest food events like New York's annual International Food Festival, satisfy your sweet tooth with maple sugaring in the Adirondacks, or sample local beer at New York's craft breweries. If there are spring showers, head inside for colorful creations at art museums like Buffalo AKG (marking its grand reopening this spring!) and the MoMa or other cultural hotspots.
