Hudson Valley Exposition to Salute 50th Anniversary of Woodstock

The Hudson Valley Exposition will pay tribute to the 50^th Anniversary of Woodstock when musical acts ramp up the on-stage excitement and a spectacular fireworks show lights up the night sky on Saturday, August 3, 2019. The Expo runs from 1pm to 10pm at Peekskill's Riverfront Green Park and is presented by the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce.

The Expo is conveniently accessible by car or train and is just steps from the Metro North Train Station. Suggested voluntary donation of $10 per adult (18 years of age and older) to enter the Exposition Area will be happily accepted to help cover the extraordinary expense it takes to present an event of this scope. Kids accompanied by an adult are free. Most activities and demonstrations are free, but some may require an additional fee. Food and beverages are available for purchase.

As the sun goes down, the music volume goes up! “Rockin’ The Green” starts at 4 pm on the Main Stage with the Woodstock Experience, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock and is hosted by WHUD’s Kacey Morabito. Musical acts include: Lisa Polizzi's Janis Joplin Experience; Stone Flower, The Santana Tribute; Kiss the Sky, World’s Greatest Jimi Hendrix Tribute. The “Fireworks Show!” will light up the sky following the music and can be seen by land and by boat.

With more than 100 vendors, Expo-goers will be able to feast on some of the region's most popular restaurant foods, discover their next keepsake from Hudson Valley artisans and artists, and learn so much about the local businesses and community groups that serve our region.

In the Kids Zone, children will be able to enjoy interactive experiences where they can make art, challenge their knowledge of science through experiments, be transformed into a superhero at the facepainting booth, hold a variety of exotic animals or immerse themselves in a stream of bubbles.

"We want to share with neighbors and visitors alike the benefits and bounty of living 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, beer and wine,” said Deb Milone, President of the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce.
