My favorite holiday? Thanksgiving, hands down. It’s all that good food. It’s the reconnection with family. It’s time spent with friends. It’s taking a moment to reflect on all the things we are grateful for…

Our local ski and board shops are brimming with excitement to share their passion with all who walk through their doors. Get ready because ski season is at our doorstep!

There are many reasons why people come to visit Ellicottville, but when the holidays are on the horizon, many would agree that there’s no other place they’d rather be! 

The Franklinville-Ellicottville Titans’ 2022 season came to an end on Nov. 10 with a 30-14 loss to the Randolph Cardinals in the Section VI Class D championship football game at Highmark Stadium.

Titans players & coaches boarded busses bound for Orchard Park’s Highmark Stadium Tuesday morning to take part in a media day organized by Section VI athletics for the ten teams that will be vying for five titles Nov. 9-10.

Thanksgiving weekend in the 14731 has become a tradition for many locals and visitors alike. Christmas in Ellicottville will run all weekend long, Nov. 25-27 and will feature a number of holiday-themed activities for kids and the kid at heart.

Ellicottville’s funkiest ski shop, The City Garage, looks to host its annual movie premier this Saturday, November 5. This year they are featuring “Anywhere From Here,” a new ski movie by Matchstick Productions. 

After a pair of stunning Class D Championship game victories in the past few days, the Ellicottville Eagles and Lady Eagles high school soccer programs reign supreme in all of Western New York.

As the trees turn bare and the days grow shorter, the town of Ellicottville shifts into winter mode. Boots are broken out & calendars begin to fill with lovely holiday traditions unique to the area. 

Few songs are more iconic this time of year than Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. Nick Pitillo, owner of Villaggio, is excited to welcome back the dance studio that brings this song to life right in front of his restaurant on Monroe Street.

On Saturday, November 12, over 30 breweries, cideries, distilleries and wineries will be set up in Holiday Valley’s main lodge to offer new and unique flavors, as well as seasonal favorites.

Coffee. Sugary snacks. Energy drinks… what if I told you there was a better, healthier way to achieve that pick-me-up you so desperately need?

This year the Ellicottville Memorial Library has created a spooky Escape Room event. Come join staff October 28 or 29 to see if you have what it takes to solve the clues and complete the challenge before it’s too late!

With our Fall foliage near peak and cooler Autumn temps, we had a feeling it was going to be a big year for Ellicottville’s Annual Fall Festival.

I had the honor of traveling home after a decade to join friends and family in support of my brother's cancer journey.  The days and weeks leading up to the trip were filled with every emotion one could feel.

As Ellicottville readies itself to host its largest festival of the year, we would like to let you know what we have been working on. Help make Fall Festival safe and enjoyable for everyone. Play by the rules … the future of Fall Fest depends on it.

One of the best ways to take in the sights and festivities of Fall Festival is from atop Holiday Valley. The Mardi Gras high speed quad will start running at 12:00pm to take people to the top.

It’s hard to believe this coming weekend, Fall Festival, October 8-9, will be the final weekend for the HoliMont Bike Park this season. We are so thankful to all who have helped us make this a success.
