Christmas has passed, and the winter lull is in full swing—but the Crystal City brings the heat and community spirit in late February. On February 20, Corning’s Gaffer District and the Corning Museum of Glass turn a night downtown into a full experience. Here’s how to make the most of it.

Cabin Fever check-in begins at 4:00 PM, giving you a full hour of shopping from 4:00–5:00 PM before tastings begin. This is the perfect time to pick up your tasting glass, have your ID checked, and grab something local you’ve been eyeing.

Check-in locations include:

  • Carey’s Brew House
     

  • Wineglass Office
     

  • Radisson Hotel Corning
     

Starting at 5:00 PM, enjoy tastings at approximately 20 locations spread throughout the district. Take your time, stop along the way, grab a bite to eat, and soak in the winter vibes of downtown Corning. Breweries, wineries, and distilleries will all be represented—so no matter your preference, there’s something new to try.
