Hudson Valley Exposition Returns to Peekskill August 6

The Hudson Valley Exposition returns to Peekskill Riverfront Green on Saturday, August 6, 2016 from 1pm to 9pm with interactive kids activities, great food and beverages, and a six hour music festival “Rockin' the Green,” featuring national performers including Broadway's Rock of Ages Band to cap off the night. Admission is $10 suggested donation per adult to enter the Exposition Area, kids are free.

“We want to showcase everything that makes the Hudson Valley so special—food, art, music businesses, history and more. The best part is that we can feature everything against the backdrop of the majestic Hudson River—it doesn't get any better than that,” said Exposition Director and Executive Director of the Hudson Valley Chamber of Commerce, Deb Milone.

Hosted by "Best of Westchester" radio personality Kacey Morabito from WHUD Radio, the main stage will include performances by the Beehive Queen from SNL, Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez; the definitive Woodstock sound from Professor Louie & the Crowmatix with the Woodstock Horns; a tribute to the Eagles and Glenn Frey by the Best of the Eagles; and to rock the green, Broadway's Rock of Ages Band with the original Broadway cast members.

The Exposition promotes the benefits and bounty of living, working and playing in the Hudson Valley with a focus on art, music, trendy businesses, holistic/wellness, and energy and technology along with the best of the Hudson Valley's food, craft beer and wines.

Kids will enjoy an interactive experience in the Kidz Zone where they can make art, challenge their knowledge of science through experiments, groom and feed therapeutic horses, pet llamas, participate in living history vignettes, work alongside colonial crafters, see sawmill demonstrations and take a ride on a mechanical lion, tiger or bear.

Most activities and demonstrations are free, but some may require a fee. Food and beverages are available for purchase.

The Holistic/Wellness area offers an array of local wellness providers who will demonstrate and educate. Attendees can take a kayak out on the river or take a one hour cruise on the Evening Star; stroll the arts and Artisan Market for Hudson Valley arts and crafts; visit the Community Tent with local community groups and organizations.
