Downtown offers various things to do, such as pottery classes at Papavero Clay Studio, shopping at Skaneateles Antique Center, and dining at Doug's Fish Fry. Seasonal events include the Dickens Christmas parade and the Antique and Classic Boat Show. While some residents can walk to local amenities, many rely on cars due to the rural nature of the area.
