In Alan Jackson’s own words: “You can’t beat the way an old wood boat rides.” The Antique Boat Museum (ABM) announces a new Sunset Cruise opportunity. Experience a 1000 Islands sunset aboard Flat Top, a 1955 30’ Chris-Craft Semi-Enclosed Cruiser which was donated to the Museum in 2013 by country music star Alan Jackson. The two hour Sunset Cruises cost $350 and are available for up to 6 passengers June through August except event days. Due to the availability of our volunteer USCG licensed captains, reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance.
The Chris-Craft Semi-Enclosed Cruiser models from the 1950s offered passengers a boat that was roomy, fast, and well-suited for a full day on the water. Flat Top, named in reference to the flat top steel-string acoustic guitars commonly used by Jackson, is one of just 36 of these boats ever built by Chris-Craft. The boat was used and stored on Lake Chautauqua, located in western New York, by its original owner. In 2002, Jackson purchased the boat in poor condition and transported it to Tennessee to undergo extensive restoration work at Hickman Wooden Boat Works in Woodbury, TN. Under the craftsmanship of Travis Hickman, Flat Top was revived through a nearly 3-year restoration project, leaving no details untouched. Flat Top now features pristine woodwork and artistry, both interior and exterior, while retaining its original look and is a handsome addition to the collection of the Antique Boat Museum.

We are bringing the Black River Fall Festival back, renamed, reimagined, and reinvigorated. The Local
Arts Fall Festival, (the LAFF), is a celebration of local arts. The festival will represent all the arts. It

Thousand Islands Winery® will hold its 18th annual Oktoberfest. Rain or shine, this festival always exceeds expectations. For the first time ever, Thousand Islands Winery® will feature live musical acts as part of this annual, regional favorite. While in the Military, Thousand Islands Winery® owner Steve Conaway spent five years stationed in Germany. Steve so enjoyed attending Oktoberfest while there, that once his Winery was opened to the public, he made Oktoberfest an annual on-site event. In keeping with the German tradition, the Thousand Islands Winery® Oktoberfest will offer authentic German cuisine and special Oktoberfest beer selections. Of course, there will also be plenty of wine and New York Wine Slushies®. Live music starts at 12:00 PM and other activities at Oktoberfest include a wine tastings and tours, a large craft and artisan market, hayrides, and everyone‘s favorite, the annual grape stompin’ competition.

The Brighton Beat’s influences range from Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, to modern cutting-edge NYC Jazz with a heavy helping of classic New Orleans brass band Funk. Performing up and down the East coast since 2010, the band has developed a style of performance that uniquely engages the audience and is fun for the whole family. Positive, uplifting, danceable music is a trademark of The Brighton Beat sound. Instrumental songs that feature room for the horn section to improvise anchor the band’s set, but the show often includes guest vocalists, audience participation, group sing-a-longs and even the occasional circus act.
Currently performing in support of their critically acclaimed live release; “Live At The Clayton Opera House” available worldwide, The Brighton Beat have had the honor to perform with many incredible artists such as Femi Kuti, Roy Hargrove, Mike Stern and The Soul Rebels just to name a few. Numerous live engagements have received great acclaim in their hometown of NYC at The Brooklyn Bowl, The Blue Note, Joe’s Pub, Rockwood Music Hall, Club Bona-Fide and many more. The band has been ecstatic to build a strong following and community up and down the East Coast. In addition to numerous high-profile festival performances, they have had the privilege to be a featured headliner at The Burlington Discover Jazz Fest, The Albany Jazz Fest and The Peekskill Jazz and Blues Fest. For 5 years running, The Brighton Beat has not only performed, but also helped to curate The Clayton Jazz Fest, where they have also created and developed their flagship education program; Jazz In The Classroom.
Faculty of Berklee, New England Conservatory, NYU, Broadway pit musicians, top call session players, and world touring musicians all call The Brighton Beat their own, their home and heart. The fruit of their lifelong passion for music, art, and entertainment is presented each night on stage for all to experience and be inspired by. This passion, honesty and positive music is deeply necessary in our current cultural climate. This family truly believes in the power of music, and all it can bring

Our band is made up of members that come from all over the North Country. Although many live in Clayton, Watertown or surrounding communities in Jefferson County, some of our musicians travel from St. Lawrence and Lewis Counties. We have a few members from even farther away who spend summers in the Clayton area and we welcome them back to play with us each summer season. We also come from many different walks of life. Some of our performers are life-long musicians either as performers or educators in local schools, some are professionals in other areas, and some have retired from their careers and are just looking for a fun and relaxing way to get involved in the community. Despite our differences we all come together each week to rehearse the music that we love sharing with our dedicated audiences. All members are listed in the programs for each of our concerts.

The philosophy of the Clayton Community Band is to afford any dedicated individual, who previously or currently plays a band instrument, an outlet to perform in rehearsal and public performance.

Preparation and presentation of concert band music is geared toward continuous education and enjoyment by the performers, while entertaining and educating the residents and guests of Clayton and surrounding communities through diversified programs of band literature. Working as a team to interpret and convey to an audience any select or particular selection of band music develops a serene sense of camaraderie. Great friendships are born through music, whether by working together as a team or by enjoying a live performance of musicians of various ages with diversified backgrounds performing for the love of music.

For the performers and audience, we feel that music heals the heart and soothes the soul.

Tickets are $8 & $6 (Balcony Center & everywhere else)

A word about the Weaving History Conference…
Under normal circumstances, the conference is held at the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel overlooking the beautiful St. Lawrence River in the historic village of Clayton, NY- just blocks from the Thousand Islands Arts Center’s Handweaving Museum. The conference will be held virtually in 2021.

In order to celebrate, promote and share academic work on the subject of handweaving, the Historic Manuscripts Conference was founded in 1994. The name was changed to the Weaving History Conference (WHC) later to reflect the expansion of the subject of the conference to contain not just academic weaving presentations, but information on all fiber arts. Today the WHC is entering its impressive 26th consecutive year!

PARADE 6PM (DOWNTOWN CLAYTON) – 315.686.3771 Shop, dine & enjoy family activities 10am-6pm. Parade begins at 6pm with fireworks following.

Who doesn’t love an old-fashioned, magical Christmas?! Snow falling, chestnuts roasting, snuggling by a cozy fire, the aroma of warm spiced wine in the air, and a visit from Santa. Well, step back in time and into the spirit of the holiday season at the 18th Annual Kris Kringle Market at Thousand Islands Winery®. Centrally located between Alexandria Bay and Clayton, the Kris Kringle Market is part of the weekend-long holiday extravaganza in the Thousand Islands region which includes a holiday arts & crafts show, breakfast with Santa, Clayton’s annual Christmas parade, the Festival of Trees and much more. This year’s market will be a one-day event on Saturday, December 3rd, from 11 AM – 4 PM held in the historic Thousand Islands Winery® Barn Loft. The emphasis of Thousand Islands Winery® is to promote craft and artisan vendors with locally made products. This provides our guests a chance to experience amazing products made right here in the north country.

Mark your calendars! This year TIAC will be brimming with extra holiday cheer. On December 3 we are opening our doors and inviting the community to a day of shopping, free gift wrapping, activities, auctions, warm beverages, and more! We’re looking for vendors to fill our galleries, so take a look at our website for application information and guidelines.

The Thousand Islands Arts Center is excited to introduce a new holiday shopping event and we invite you to participate! Our galleries and classrooms will be transformed into a festive family-friendly experience full of vendors, crafts, gift-wrapping, hot cocoa, and more. Held on the same day as the popular Clayton Christmas Parade (when the town is filled with visitors!), The Elves’ Fair will be the place to go for holiday shopping and free gift wrapping.

Vendor spaces are limited and open to quality, hand-crafted items, fine arts, and unique gifts (commercially made items are not allowed). Suggested price range for goods is $25-$60. Stocking stuffers do especially well! Vendors keep 100% of proceeds from their sales.

The Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce will host its Eighth Annual
Christmas Tree Lighting on December 7, 2022, at 6 p.m. on Upper James Street in Alexandria Bay.

It’s a Wonderful Life: Live from WVL Radio Theatre
Saturday, December 17, 7:30pm
Doors open at 7pm

Tickets $10/$15/$20 (Side/Center/Premium)

Purchase tickets here, call the box office (315-686-2200), or walk-up during box office hours (11am-5pm Tues-Fri)

The stage is set. It’s Christmas Eve in 1945, and only a handful of WVL Radio’s actors have braved the blizzard to perform that evening’s broadcast of It’s a Wonderful Life and keep the station afloat. This clever stage adaptation breathes new life into the poignant story of George Bailey and Bedford Falls. The story of George Bailey and Bedford Falls is juxtaposed against a time of failing banks, devastatingly high unemployment and a shortage of affordable housing. The circumstances are eerily familiar, and over 60 years later, this story remains as fresh and relevant as ever. Its message of hope and optimism is the perfect antidote to holiday cynicism.

This live theater production is complete with “On Air” signs, multi-tasking actors and plenty of sound effects. It is as if you are sitting in your living room listening to the radio broadcast the scenes in the movie. You will need to bring your imagination and come prepared to be transformed to the town of Bedford Falls in 1940.
