Event Details
As the concert will take place in a working farm field that will be mowed shortly before the event, you may prefer to bring folding chairs rather than picnic blankets for this year's event.
Enjoy tractor-pulled wagon rides from the parking area up the hill to the picnic area, courtesy of Jimmy and Janine Golub of Our Farm, and CPF’s own Board President Dave Gerber.
Volunteers will be available to help carry picnic gear from the parking area to the concert site.
Accessible portable restrooms will be available, and parking will be in the field. For everyone's safety, please do not park along Peth Road.
About the Gianforte Farm
The concert will take place on land permanently protected through a conservation easement secured by the Cazenovia Preservation Foundation. In 2022, working with the Gianforte family and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets' Farmland Protection Implementation Grant (FPIG) Program, CPF helped conserve 471 acres of productive farmland for future generations.
Today, Gianforte Farm grows organic grains that are sold wholesale and milled on the farm into products including rolled oats and flour. Their locally milled products are available at the 20 | East shop in the Village of Cazenovia and are enjoyed by customers throughout the East Coast.
Join us for an evening of exceptional music, beautiful scenery, and a celebration of the working landscapes that make our community so special.
