The Hudson Valley Exposition will return to Peekskill’s Riverfront Green Park from 1 to 10 p.m. August 3, with music, food, art, displays and interactive activities for all ages.

Every summer, Expo goers gather on the shores of the Hudson River to enjoy the wares of more than 100 vendors. They can feast on some of the region’s most popular restaurant foods, shop for handmade items from Hudson Valley artisan and artists, and learn about local businesses and community groups. In the Kids Zone, children can take part in interactive experiences, have their faces painted, hold a variety of exotic animals and enjoy the Bubble Bus.  

As the sun goes down at the Expo, the volume goes up. “Rockin’ The Green” starts at 4 p.m. on the Main Stage, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival. Musical acts include Cosmic American Derelicts; Lisa Polizzi’s Janis Joplin Experience; Stone Flower: The Santana Tribute Band; and Kiss the Sky: World’s Greatest Jimi Hendrix Tribute. The musical acts will be followed by a fireworks show.

The Hudson Valley Exposition is presented by the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce.
