ELLICOTTVILLE, N.Y. — Nothing complements a great day on the ski slopes than an evening of live music, and that’s just what Ellicottville’s Winter Blues Weekend is guaranteed to deliver. With more than 20 bands scheduled in all the downtown hot spots, visitors can expect a full line-up of high-energy, soulful performances come Jan. 19 through 21.
Produced by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, the music kicks off Friday evening and continues through Sunday afternoon, making it a weekend you won’t want to miss. The best part: All performances are free to enjoy with no cover charges.
“Winter Blues Weekend is a great way to spend time with friends and family and discover some of the most talented blues performers in our region,” said Barb Pump, executive assistant of the Ellicottville Chamber. “We’re looking forward to a full weekend of fun and we encourage visitors to book overnight accommodations so they can enjoy all that Ellicottville has to offer.”
Along with live music, Ellicottville boasts seven breweries, distilleries and wineries, more than a dozen restaurants, and just as many retail shops. Browse an eclectic variety of one-of-a-kind gifts and keepsakes, fashionable clothing for men, women and kids, and even unique finds for your furry, four-legged friends. When it’s time for dessert, head to any of the coffee bars, candy stores, ice cream parlors or bakeries.
“Our downtown business district offers the whole package, and it’s all in a four-block walkable footprint,” said Brian McFadden, chamber executive director. “Park your car, shop, dine and bar hop on foot. You can easily take in all the sights and sounds of Winter Blues Weekend every which way you turn!”
Book lodging now to enjoy a weekend of music, dining, shopping and, of course, freshly groomed ski conditions.
