Western New York Festival Named One Of Best In US

Leaf Peeping season is upon us, and once again, Western New York is getting national attention for how pretty the 716 becomes during the fall.

Country Living recently named the top Fall Festivals in the country, and one local festival cracked the Top 15, and when you see it, it won't be surprised why.

If you have spent any time down in Ellicottville, you know how amazing the area can be when the leaves change color. People from all around the world come down to see the amazing reds, yellows, and oranges.

So it is no surprise that Country Living named the Ellicottville Fall Festival as the 12th best fall festival in the country. They highlighted the colors, the arts and craft show, live music, and the ability to walk around the ski resorts as the reasons people love this festival.
