Join us over Memorial Day weekend on Saturday, May 24, from 12:00-10:00pm on North Main Street for the Town of Pittsford’s annual Paddle and Pour Art & Music Festival. We’ll have live music all day, a craft beer and wine tent featuring New York State beers and wines, plus great food from local eateries (12:00-10:00pm) – this is NOT your average festival fare!

Our live music schedule features five local bands, including a headlining performance from Rochester party band Shine! From blues to classic rock to pop, country, and dance music, there’s a performance for everybody! Check out the line-up below:

Art demonstrations by Pittsford Fine Art Gallery members will take place in the parking lot of the Pittsford Fine Art, located at 4 North Main Street.

From 12:00 - 7:00pm, we'll have plenty of activities for children and families, including mini golf, an inflatable slide, a face-to-face rock climbing wall, face painting, caricatures, and the Pittsford Community Library Book Bike!

And of course, be sure to catch the exciting competition of the 2025 Pittsford Regatta!

We’ve also commissioned local artist and RIT adjunct faculty member Chris Lyons to create another limited edition Paddle and Pour Art & Music Festival poster. This year's poster features two rowers racing down the Erie Canal! This year's poster and our previous year's posters will be available for purchase at the festival.

Admission to the festival is free; food and drink are available for purchase.
