The Country Fair Comes to the RhinePresented by The History Center in Tompkins County and the Waterfront District Association of Ithaca, the West End Waterfront Festival is a community celebration on Inlet Island and the surrounding area. Visitors will immerse themselves in the rich and fascinating history of the area once referred to as ‘the Rhine,’ ‘the Flats,’ or even ‘Sodom.’ This unique event begins with a day-long community celebration with music, arts and crafts, theatrical performances, old-fashioned games for kids, fortune tellers and belly dancers. The public will be invited to try and solve a mystery which unfolds in scenes throughout the day; and one lucky sleuth will receive a very special prize. At night, Old Taughannock Blvd, aka: ‘Moonshine Island’ will come alive with speakeasy parties, music, vaudeville performances, costume parties, and games of chance.
