Smooth and soulful - where groove meets the Enchanted Mountains of Western New York. Let the sounds of Jazz and Blues be the soundtrack of your weekend here in Ellicottville!

Wander through the Village and enjoy a variety of Jazz and Blues performances inside restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The festival runs Friday through Sunday, July 25-27th. 

Ellicottville has the shops and all the facilities you’d expect in an international class resort. The Village is self-contained – all of the venues are within an easy walking distance of each other! So after you arrive, leave the car and enjoy the fresh mountain air on foot.

Outstanding accommodations for all budget levels are located in the Village or within walking distance as well.

New date, new venue, same awesome event! Back for its 12th year, the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Classic will be held at Holiday Valley’s Double Black Diamond Golf Course.

Back for its 34th year, the Marvin “Joe” Curry Veterans Powwow welcomes all ages to experience rich Native American culture while honoring service members. Showcasing Indigenous tradition, dance, arts, and hospitality, the event returns in partnership with Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino and Iroquois Post 1587 and runs through Sunday, July 20th.

An event like no other, the annual Powwow reflects the beauty of the First Nations through captivating dance and storytelling. This year’s gathering will host tribal dancers from across the nation, each with unique and powerful performances. One of those highly anticipated performances includes the Smoke Dance contests. A traditional Haudenosaunee dance that involves fast paced footwork to the meticulous beat of drums, many believe that the swift spinning of the dancer’s feet resemble the curls of smoke.

From the performances to the stunning ceremonial wardrobes, the event continues to amaze with an ample amount of over 40 Native American vendors and artists. Each vendor provides authentic Native American goods that share the unique craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation.

Allow yourself some of the sweeter sides of the event by checking out the food and drinks available onsite. A variety of offerings range from traditional Native American staples to carnival favorites. It’s the perfect opportunity to sample authentic frybread or corn soup, followed by your favorite festival treat.
