    Naples Grape Festival - Biker bars from Mom's Pies

    Naples Grape Festival

    (14 reviews)

    I absolutely love this Festival. I remember coming here when I was younger and enjoying the food…read moreand the events. Fast forward 20+ years, and I introduced it to my wife. It starts off with a nice pleasant drive through some really beautiful country along scenic Canandaigua Lake. We come in from the North, and since we arrive early in the morning parking is plentiful. However, there is a 10-15 minute walk to get to the center of the festival area. Along the way, you can look at the small stores selling their wares (books, records, etc.) and peruse the many garage sales that pop up along main street. When you arrive at the festival, you are hit with a three-fold attack of (1) great carnival food, (2) lots of arts and crafts vendors, and (3) live music and the cacophony of thousands of people in one space. Aside from the typical kettle corn, fried dough, and sausage sandwiches, you can feast on anything and everything that can be made with a grape... pies, cakes, cookies, cotton candy, ice cream, etc. Frankly, it is a bit overwhelming but in a wonderful way. We don't usually buy too many crafts or artwork (and if you do, be warned that you will need to carry it back to your car somehow) but we do enjoy some things that are just necessary on a day like this: Carnival Waffles (which you cannot get outside of Western NY, and asking about them will just lead to blank stares), grape pie, and lots of bottled water. Who has the best grape pie? If you read the signs, that will narrow it done but I try a new place every time and seem to enjoy them all. Grape pie tastes like blueberry + wine... yummy! There are wine vendors too, and a nearby winery offers tasting and I think tours though we have never done it. This festival takes the best things in life and combines them. Carnival food minus the weird looking carnys; beautiful New York fall scenery with lovely, sunny weather; amazing arts and crafts with plenty of useless made in China junk and dozens of yard sales thrown in, and people having fun. Just watch the bikers that try and ride down Main Street every year only to get stuck in traffic. Even then they are having a blast. The local school gets involved too with various fundraisers. Hint: when you buy food from the area next to the school, make sure you get all the ketchup you need before you go and sit down on the grassy knoll. Navigating the crowds to get the small things you forgot with your food is no fun. I cannot wait until September when I can go again!

    I have a love/hate relationship with the Naples Grape Festival. On the one hand you have a great…read moreopportunity to get your hand on some of the greatest Grape pies around. On the other, crowds of people, money trap, long waits to get in and out of the village. Here's what's lacking: *Not much (good)entertainment *Everyone is selling anything and everything (junk included) *Crowded sidewalks where people stop directly in the middle without regard to the line of others behind them. *A long drive from the city Here's what I love: *Views of the lake on the drive down *Views of fall foliage *Joseph's Wayside Market *Grape pocket cookies from the church in the center of town *Jeni's Pies are the best *Plenty of (paid) parking at Hazlitt *Wine slushies from Hazlitt YUM! In the past there seemed to be more artisans, but this year it felt like there were vendors just selling anything. It felt overwhelming with so many people crammed in in the sidewalks. I'll admit it's a great walk from one end of town to the other. Make your way to the south end to check out Joseph's. If you've never been, it's worth the trip, just be prepared for people to stop in front of you without warning because they can't text and walk at the same time!

    This annual event always brings together the Rochester community. I attended for years and years,…read morealways in awe of the variety of fine arts and crafts, before I realized this is one of the largest fundraisers of the year for the MAG. Knowing my entrance fee helps sustain such a treasure in Rochester motivates me to attend, even on the rainiest of days! This year's event was packed despite the cool damp weather. Artists and buyers filled the grounds, there were food and beverage trucks, Brown Hound had sweets and coffee, several area non-profits had tables set up (good on you MAG for supporting other non profits by offering free table space!!) and the MAG's own Creative Studio was set up outside with demos and opportunities to try your hand at a craft. Parking can be tricky (the MAG's own lots are used by vendors) but there are paid lots and street parking all around; there are entrances into the festival at the corners of University Ave and Goodman Street, and University Ave and Prince Street. The MAG volunteers are efficient and even a long wait line moves fast, especially for MAG members or those who bought tickets in advance inline (highly recommended). I have been a fan of this event for 2 decades and there is always something new and exciting - definitely recommended!!

    Such a great fest that I look forward to taking in each year! I've been here as both an exhibitor…read moreand an attendee now, and really love the experience. I especially love that with your $5 fee, you gain entrance into the museum exhibits as WELL as the massive festival. Win! This arts festival is completely overwhelming in that there's twenty of each thing you could possibly want! Every local artist participates in this fest, and you can find really whatever style you're looking for in whatever medium you're looking for. My purchase this year was an ornament for the Christmas tree, and I saw some other beautiful eye catching works that reminded me of the extreme artistic talent we have in this city. The footprint of the fest stretches really far, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to attend for 2+ hours or more if you're trying to do it all. Food options are all trucks or the brown hound cafe. I enjoyed a delicious blueberry ale from Rohrbach as we walked, and enjoyed the beautiful weather and views. If you've never been to Clothesline, you are missing out!
