The City of the Hills Festival, presented by CANO, celebrates the arts and community in vibrant downtown Oneonta, NY! Nestled along the Susquehanna River in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Oneonta was named a Top-10 Arts-Vibrant Micropolitan Community of America.

We are excited to announce that City of the Hills Festival will kick off on Friday, September 13th, 5-9pm with a Block Party at CANO in downtown Oneonta. Vendors, performances, a craft beer garden, and art activities will be at 11 Ford Avenue on CANO’s grounds, the Art Studio, and the Wilber Mansion. The fest will pop up the Saturday, September 14, noon-5pm on Main Street with food trucks, downtown shopping & restaurants, even more vendors, art activities, performances, music, and a downtown art walk.

City of the Hills Fest is not just a 2-day festival. Throughout the year, we offer a variety of events, like our Holiday Market Pops Up at CANO, that give artists, performers, and downtown businesses more opportunities to bring arts and culture to the Oneonta area.
