We’re excited to announce our 2026 Festival Artist, Leonora Petronzio!
The Ithaca Festival has selected Leonora’s work to represent the 2026 Festival theme, “Downtown Disco”. Her artwork will be featured on this year’s buttons, t-shirts, posters, and signage.
Congratulations, Leonora, and thank you for bringing our theme to life in such a creative and vibrant way!
The Ithaca Festival is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to celebrating the artist in everyone and the incredible community that makes this event possible. We’re proud to bring the festival to Ithaca each year, and we’re grateful for the neighbors, artists, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who help keep it alive.
As a non-profit event, we depend on the support of our community to sustain and grow our programming each year. You can help by making a donation, becoming a sponsor, or supporting the festival through merch and button purchases.
