Note from your publisher
Winter may be in full swing, but that’s no reason to hibernate—there’s so much happening around town this weekend to get you out and enjoying the season! Whether you're looking for frosty fun by the lake or a cozy indoor experience, we've got you covered. Saturday kicks off with the 40th Annual Lakeside Winter Celebration at Ontario Beach Park, where snow, ice, and community spirit take center stage in a free celebration that’s
become a beloved local tradition. Prefer something a bit more serene? You can explore moonlit trails on snowshoes at Helmer Nature Center or discover the art of wool spinning at Genesee Country Village & Museum—both perfect for a peaceful winter escape.
If you're in the mood for music and performance, you're in luck! On Sunday, treat your ears to the renowned Ying Quartet at Eastman’s Kilbourn Hall or experience the vocal magic of A Cappella Live, featuring some of the region's most talented ensembles. You can also indulge your tastebuds at the Sugarmaker’s Barn Brunch at Kettle Ridge Farm, where a surprise five-course maple-infused menu awaits. And don’t forget the dazzling Laser
Elton John show lighting up the planetarium all month long! With so many ways to enjoy the weekend, the hardest part will be deciding where to start.
