Your Weekend Guide to Ithaca
October 9 – October 11, 2026 · 25 events
This weekend in Ithaca, New York brings 25 live events across the city — from arts & culture to music to community. 2 events are explicitly listed as free. Here's what's on.
Ithaca's events scene runs on the combined wattage of Cornell and Ithaca College, a famously progressive community, and gorges that make every summer festival scenic. The State Theatre downtown books national touring acts in a restored 1928 movie palace, while the Hangar Theatre stages a respected professional summer season. The Ithaca Festival celebrates the town's creative spirit each June with parades and dozens of performances, and the GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance — held each July at the fairgrounds in nearby Trumansburg — has grown into one of the Northeast's most beloved roots music gatherings. The Commons keeps buskers and bar bands going year-round.
