Monday – Friday

Programming around the grounds begins early each day and is all self selected. Experiences come in the form of lectures, classes, demonstrations, performances, and informal discussion groups on a variety of diverse topics. Chautauqua creates free weekly schedules that detail nearly every event taking place on the grounds each day. – We’ve yet to hear a guest utter the words…”there’s nothing to do today”. Each day is yours to design – so be sure to add in time for R&R!

We understand that part of the reason guests choose the QH is because they value the community that forms here through conversations that arise from QH programming – both formal and informal.
