The 17-day event was created to celebrate both the brilliant colors of the season as well as the culture of lifelong and leisure learning in southwestern New York State. It will run from October 5 to 21 at various communities and locations throughout Chautauqua County.

According to the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau spokesperson Stephanie Burdo, many of the workshops offered explore the natural and cultural nuances of the region.  Several workshops study the landscape through the perspective of canvas or lens. Other workshops deal with arts and crafts, while still others will focus on various outdoor activities.

From May 24 through June 17, more than 60 different classes and workshops are being held in both indoor and outdoor classrooms across the county as part of the second annual Chautauqua in June Learning Festival. The event is being promoted by the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau, in collaboration with several other groups, including Jamestown Community College.

On Thursday, Stephanie Burdo of the visitors bureau and Delana Rupp of JCC’s Continuing Education Department were on WRFA’s Community Matters program to discuss the Chautauqua in June Festival. Burdo offered details on how the festival got started, saying it was based off of the branding label “Chautauqua County: The World’s Learning Center.”

The learning festival will feature a variety of courses from dozens of local participants and covering a wide array of programming, including the arts, culture, the outdoors, and even culinary. Prices for the workshops start at $45 apiece.
