Bristol Mountain Fall Fest (Saturday and Sunday)
The Bristol Mountain Fall Festival returns this weekend with a chance to see fall colors on a chairlift ride. There will also be live music at the base and the summit.
Other activities at the summit include hiking, an ariel adventure park, and a rock wall. There will be food trucks and crafts vendors at the festival. You can see the full schedule and get tickets here.
Tickets are $20 for the Fall Sky Ride when bought less than three days in advance. General admission tickets without the Fall Sky Ride are $12. On Saturday, there will be a freestyle aerial show at the GRAAF Water Ramp from 1 to 1:30 p.m.
According to New York State’s Fall Foliage Map, trees in the Finger Lakes are about at their mid-point for colors.
R-Nopoly (Saturday)
Parcel 5 will turn into a giant Monopoly-themed celebration on Saturday with free activities. It’s inspired by the popular “Main Game” festival of the 1990s and early 2000s and runs from noon to 4 p.m.
There will be entertainment on stages, interactive booths highlighting community resources, inflatables, carnival-style games, and food trucks. Guests can also take part in a three-point-shooting basketball competition.
People can visit R-Center booths at Parcel 5 using their R-Nopoly passport to learn about the athletic, cultural, and social activities offered at the R-Centers. The city’s R-Centers are hosting the celebration.
