Corning's Gaffer District
Corning's Gaffer District's historic downtown is known for its exceptional shopping, dining, arts and beautifully restored buildings, just steps away from the world famous Corning Museum of Glass. A year-long calendar of festivals and events celebrates decades of tradition, including the nationally-recognized Wineglass Marathon, the family-favorite holiday event, Sparkle, and GlassFest — a four-day celebration of glass and the fire arts in America's Crystal City.
The area is called the Gaffer District in honor of the highly-skilled glass-blowing artisans who create unique glass pieces in all sizes, shapes and colors. Corning has a very small-town feel to it. Almost every shop on Market Street is independently owned and operated. Source: Gaffer District Website
