Since the late 1940s it has become a combination of a bedroom suburb for [[Ithaca, New York|Ithaca]] and a modest tourist destination, with restaurants and antique stores. Since 1991, the [[Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance]] has taken place each July at the village fairgrounds and is hosted by nationally popular Trumansburg-based band [[Donna the Buffalo]]. From 1973 to 2016, the Rongovian Embassy to the USA ("the Rongo") was a regional center for live music.<ref>{{cite news |first=Natasha Li |last=Pickowicz |url=https://www.ithaca.com/entertainment/in-their-words-35-years-at-the-rongo/article_0a28fba5-8fcc-5a05-8db3-08231cf85e4f.html |title=In their words ... 35 years at the Rongo |newspaper=Ithaca Times |orig-date=April 23, 2008 |date=March 28, 2015 |access-date=September 19, 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Don |last=Cazentre |url=https://www.newyorkupstate.com/breweries/2018/03/near_ithaca_the_former_rongovian_embassy_prepares_transition_to_a_brewery.html |title=Near Ithaca, the former Rongovian Embassy prepares transition to a brewery |website=New York Upstate |orig-date=March 5, 2018 |date=April 27, 2024 |access-date=September 19, 2024 }}</ref> The village is also located along the Cayuga Wine Trail<ref>[http://www.cayugawinetrail.com/ Cayuga Wine Trail]</ref> and is close to [[Taughannock Falls]].
