Art, Soul-and Fireworks-on the Hudson

Visit Nyack July 4 for fun all day long and fireworks at 8:30 p.m.

Nyack’s display on Saturday, which as usual will be launched from Memorial Park on the Hudson River, can be seen from any place in the village where there is a clear view of the southeast sky; also from the water, where boaters by the score gather to enjoy; and from the opposite shore.

But you’re invited to Nyack by Visit Nyack, Inc., a group that runs public information campaigns throughout the year using radio, TV, location-based advertising and streaming media to tell visitors why Nyack is “Art & Soul On The Hudson.”

Nyack’s eclectic shops and acclaimed restaurants will be open for business, as will the Edward Hopper House Art Center Visitors should arrive early to enjoy the Art Center’s galleries (open 12–5pm), browse for one-of-a-kind items on Main Street and Broadway, and sit down for a deliciously memorable meal.

The fun doesn’t end with the fireworks grand finale—Nyack has the best nightlife in Rockland County, organizers insist.

Saturday morning, Bike Nyack will be leading their weekly bike ride, beginning and ending in Nyack. Cyclists will meet at 8:30am in Memorial Park. Visit bikenyack.com for details.

Parking will be free all day on July 4th, throughout downtown Nyack.
