2025 Summer Saturdays & Summer Events
Please Note: The HCEF Family Carnival on Aug 27th is a Wednesday not a Saturday*
Proudly Supported By: Hancock Partners, Hancock Area Chamber of Commerce, the Village & Town of Hancock NY & Delaware County.
Located at: Hancock Town Square 20 E Main Street
The annual Summer Saturdays outdoor concert series is hosted in the Hancock Town Square each year. The Town Square will also be the host of the 2025 programming season. We are now proudly celebrating our seventh season of the summer programing, which proudly provides free cultural arts performances and live music each month. The events have traditionally run from May to October. This year we are starting off our season with Blues, Brews & BBQ on Memorial Day Weekend, and extending our season to the Harvest Festival in October. This is being done to ensure more regional tourists can enjoy the showcase and better plan their outings with more flexibility all through the year. We welcome more than 40k tourists and guests to the Hancock Town Sqaure each season.
The 2025 season will be a mix of unique and exciting artists, sculpture exhibitions, Art Performances, Musical Artists and Arts & Crafts Fair with our Farmer’s Market each week as well as the local Art Walk and new county-wide River Road & Rail Art Trail. We are proud to curate from a number of culturally diverse arts programming options, which include art exhibitions, teen nights, and musical performances. Thoughtful consideration is given to creating an immersive and memorable encounter with artists during each presentation. We want the tourists to remember what town/region that they are in, and to come back to Delaware County and Hancock more often. Crowds will want to be outdoors and shopping this year more than ever, and we want to be ready to service their needs and have vendors ready with products and services that meet the level of demand. The intent of the events is to both expose the local community to new cultural and artistic experiences, as well as increase and extend the current tourism season during the summer and fall months in Delaware County and specifically Hancock.
These critical events also serve as a local economic incubator that bolsters local businesses, by bringing more than 50,000 tourists/motorists onto our main streets and throughout the town during the summer season. The much needed sales and tourism dollars flow during those events, helping to keep our seasonal businesses alive during the winter months and able to operate the following year.
