It doesn’t take long to realize that this is no ordinary vacation destination. With offerings that encompass the arts, education, religion, and recreation, Chautauqua Institution draws scores of visitors to its remarkable grounds from late June through August. Many return year after year to enjoy the distinctive blend of pursuits known simply as the “Chautauqua Mix.” Magnificent on-site venues showcase a wide range of talents. Professional actors, dancers, and musicians bring to the stage a series of superlative performances, while an array of galleries highlight the works of visual artists. The written word finds appreciation here also, with lively gatherings and a literary journal exploring new horizons of poetry and prose. Across all these disciplines, students receive encouragement and instruction from an esteemed faculty.
Glad you are coming to NYS; we have so many wondrous places and such incredible scenery that you could spend the summer here. And Chautauqua is a marvelous place; we attended a Garrison Keillor radio show there, and also stayed in that wonderful hotel pictured above. Hopefully anyone who comes this way will have a wonderful time.

Boulder , Colo also has Chautauqua !
Petoskey, MI also has a Chautauqua! There are quite a few throughout the U.S.
Tell me more about Petosky’s Chatauqua. My mother and family have gone for years to the New York site but I am from Michigan and would love to take my husband to northern Michigan. Thank you for your information.
I grew up in this small town. Its wonderful place to visit in the summer but the area has its attractions all year round.

I love Chautauqua! I played in the Chautauqua student orchestra when I was in college! When
My husband and I visited Chautauqua we enjoyed it together! This past summer I returned to Chautauqua. In one way everything was as good as I remembered, in another way it was even better! Chautauqua offers a combination of charm, history and ideas relevant for living in today’s world. I can hardly wait to go back!
