Friends of Stewart Park & Triphammer Arts invite you to WaterMusic & Dancing on the Trail, Sunday, July 27, 5:30 pm-8:30 pm.

WaterMusic & Dancing on the Trail is an annual celebration of acoustic music and human-powered movement on Ithaca’s waterfront for the enjoyment of paddlers, trail users and music lovers alike. WaterMusic presents a variety of music and dance performances by solo artists, tiny bands and community music groups. This year our featured performers include Jorge Cuevas and the Caribe All-Stars, Joe Crookston, Nikolai Ruskin, the Triphammer Arts Dancers, Grassanova, Steven Stull, Naomi Sommers, Rick Manning & Tom Hodgson, Downstairs Bluegrass Pickers, Deep Dive Old Time Jammers, Skylark Recorder Ensemble, Ithaca Ukes, Canaan Session Fiddlers, The Notorious Stringbusters & more.

Ten years ago, in 2015, we celebrated the completion of the Cayuga Waterfront Trail at a Farmers Market ribbon cutting. This year, the Ithaca Farmers Market is the gateway into WaterMusic where you can enjoy music and dance and walk, bike, or paddle along the Waterfront Trail to enjoy music, dance and food.

The Market will host five performance areas - three inside the open air pavilion and two outside along the Waterfront Trail at the Market Pier and the CWT Trailhead. From the market you can paddle the Inlet or walk and bike to enjoy performance areas at the Crew Cove Overlook, Lookout Point, along the Cass Park Trail across from the Children’s Garden and Union Fields, and at the Cass Park Dragon Boat Docks.
