ELLICOTTVILLE - The Ellicottville Fall Festival will celebrate its 50th Anniversary October 10-11, marking five decades as one of the most beloved fall festivals in WNY. This milestone year comes on the heels of national recognition, with Ellicottville Fall Festival recently being ranked #12 among the top fall festivals in the country by Country Living Magazine, further solidifying its reputation as a premier autumn destination.
Presented by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce and proudly sponsored by Green Mountain Energy, the festival has grown from a local celebration into one of Western New York's signature events, attracting thousands of visitors each year to experience the beauty of autumn in the Enchanted Mountains and the welcoming spirit of the Ellicottville community.
