Hosted by the Sodus Bay Historical Society, the Sodus Point Lighthouse Artisan Festival is a premier juried event set against the breathtaking backdrop of the historic Sodus Point Lighthouse. This unique festival not only celebrates the vibrant world of fine art and craftsmanship but also pays tribute to the rich maritime heritage of the Lake Ontario region.
Perched proudly on a bluff overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Ontario, the iconic lighthouse, originally built in 1824 and reconstructed in 1871, offers a truly inspiring setting for both the showcased artists and visiting patrons.
The festival offers spaces for artists to showcase their wares alongside local food and drink vendors. Its growing reputation draws attendees from across the state, with visitors traveling from as far as Buffalo and Albany last year to immerse themselves in this celebration of creativity and skill.
Discover the charm of Sodus Bay, affectionately known as "The Crown Jewel of Lake Ontario." As the largest bay on the lake, conveniently situated midway between Rochester and Syracuse, it provides a perfect destination for a day trip or weekend getaway. The Lighthouse Artisan Festival offers an ideal opportunity to explore this picturesque waterfront community while discovering exceptional fine art and unique crafts.
