Go BIG with the Holidays at The Corning Museum of Glass!

The holidays are upon us from Thanksgiving through the New Year. The holidays are such an important part of life in Finger Lakes Wine Country, that we are considered a five-season destination! One of the biggest draws to the region during the holidays is The Corning Museum of Glass. And remember kids and teen 19 and under are always free at the museum!

Beginning on Thursday, November 19, 2009 and continuing through January 3, 2010 come enjoy Glittering Traditions. The museum this year featured the world’s largest glass-blown pumpkins and to continue with the “big” theme have grown their glass ornament tree to 14ft. with 1,500 glass ornaments! The tree goes on display Thursday evening during the 2300° free event.


In addition to the tree, Glittering Traditions includes Make Your Own Glass Ornaments, a Holiday Open House the first weekend in December, a Holiday Hunt throughout the galleries, Glittering Holiday Gifts in The GlassMarket and the amazing after Thanksgiving sale. And finally, come view the latest glass exhibit of Tiffany’s favrile glass from rarely seen collections.
