Ithaca, NY
The city of Ithaca is located at the base of Cayuga Lake on the ancestral land of the Cayuga Nation, one of the original five members of the Haudenosaunee.
About four (4) hours northwest of NYC and Philadelphia in the heart of the Finger Lakes, Ithaca is bursting with natural beauty. With over 100 gorges and waterfalls throughout the area — some walking distance from the Qinfolk Festival in Downtown Ithaca — Ithaca provides a beautiful and refreshing back drop for our event . We cannot wait to welcome our qinfolx into our home!
