Welcome to the Village of Shortsville

Nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region of Western New York, the Village of Shortsville is conveniently located near outdoor attractions, agriculture, educational institutions, and the City of Rochester. Rich in history, natural beauty, and friendly people, Shortsville is a wonderful place to raise a family or build a business.
Throughout the year, our community comes together through local events, organizations, businesses, parks, and recreational activities.

One of Shortsville's most treasured traditions is the Wild Water Derby. Held each spring, the Derby brings families, friends, local businesses, and visitors together for a day of racing, creativity, and fun on the water.
In 2025, the Wild Water Derby celebrated its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of community tradition. With homemade rafts, exciting races, local vendors, and cheering spectators, the Derby captures the friendly spirit that makes Shortsville special.

More than a race, it's a tradition that brings our community together.
