Enjoy the bustling entertainment, shopping, and dining activities in this charming and historic downtown. Many special events and festivals are held year-round as well as an in-season farmers' market. Enjoy walking the brick sidewalks and discover two world-class museums, The Corning Museum of Glass and the Rockwell Museum in the heart of the area.

Five blocks of unique shops, eateries and a movie theater on historic Market St. in downtown Corning. Something for everyone.

Basically, the gaffer district sums up everything that comprises of downtown Corning. If you do only one thing, we suggest walking down the length of Market St. It begins at Wegmans, and ends at the Radisson hotel. So many shops, restaurants, and boutiques to see! The epitome of small-town America.
