Exciting Two-Day RIver Festival Coming To Sullivan County This Summer

I've been to a bunch of festivals before but I haven't been to a river related one! We can attend the Neversink River Festival at the D&H Canal Park in Cuddebackville.

This festival will take place on August 15, 2026 and August 16, 2026. The Neversink River Festival's hours are from dusk until dawn which sounds like a party that I want to attend!

This event has free admission with a $5 donation for parking. Not only is this something that we can enjoy with family and friends but it also gives back to the community.

On the Neversinkriverfest's website, they highlighted that,

"The festival will raise funds to protect and preserve the river, while bringing activities and entertainment that promote the Town of Deerpark and generate an economic impact."

What Can We Look Forward To At The Neversink River Festival?

On the Neversinkriverfest's website, they gave us some insight into the exciting things we can enjoy at this event. On August 14, 2026, this festival will start the night off with a dance party!

At The Neversink River Festival, we can also enjoy live entertainment from local bands, food and drinks along with line dancing.

For those love shopping, there's going to be local vendors on sites and we can learn about fly fishing.

For more information, be sure to visit their website. Have fun exploring and attending local festivals this summer!

Eat Your Way Through The Hudson Valley With The Best Ice Cream

I have always enjoyed stopping by my favorite local ice cream shops and choosing a new flavor. Whether it's a hot fudge sundae, chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a cone, or an ice cream sandwich, count me in.

The Hudson Valley has strange ice cream flavors. From lemon poppyseed to thai iced tea and barn boots, there aren't any boring flavors in our area.

A 'Premiere' Hudson Valley treat shop was expanding their space during the winter months to prepare for a busy summer season.

Thankfully, we have a large selection of local ice cream shops to visit in the Hudson Valley.
