History
The idea for a Skaneateles Festival came together quickly in the spring of 1980 in discussions between musician Lindsay Groves and Skaneateles residents Beth Boudreau and Louise Robinson. That first season, two weeks of concerts were presented in August at the village’s Library Hall. Through the generosity of David and Louise Robinson, their home, Brook Farm, soon became the Festival’s center.
concerts and events have been presented over the past 46 seasons
We hope to see you soon!
