A helicopter dropping golf balls for a $10,000 prize. Live music all weekend long. One last fireworks night with your people. The Farmers Market Friday morning. A golf cart shuttle to get you everywhere you need to be. Ice cream because summer isn’t over yet. Local shops filled with things you didn’t know you needed. One last ferry crossing before she closes for the season.

You can always leave Friday and come back Tuesday.
Labor Day weekend was made for Bemus Point. 🌊
Labor Day weekend is September 5th through 7th and this is the one you do not skip. The last long weekend of summer on Chautauqua Lake. Four nights. Three full days. The village fully alive with people who refuse to let the season end quietly.
Friday dinner at one of the many unique local restaurants. Saturday on the water with your pontoon from Bemus Bay Water Toys with nowhere to be. Sunday golden hour that stretches longer than it should satisfying your sweet tooth with ice cream from Bemus Point Market. Monday morning breakfast at Bemus Point Inn because you earned one more morning before you head home.
The lake is still warm. The restaurants are still open. The village is still doing exactly what it does all summer.
You are allowed to take this weekend.
Save this and send it to whoever you are coming with. 👇

Bemus Point has had a library since 1908.
And it has never stopped showing up for this village. 📚
The Bemus Point Public Library on Main Street is one of those places that quietly holds a community together. Free WiFi. Public computers. Audiobooks and digital downloads. Story time for young readers. A warm space in the heart of the village that genuinely welcomes everyone who walks through the door.
And every summer the library teams up with Bemus Point Market to run a reading program where kids earn a free Perry’s ice cream cone just for reading books. The library and the market. Two village institutions working together to make this community better for the families who live and visit here.
That is what a small town does when it is at its best.
Have you been part of a library program at Bemus Point?
