A full day of free music and art set against the backdrop of the Hudson โ€“ thatโ€™s what the secondย annual Haverstraw RiverArts & Music Festival promises.

Other highlights of this community and river-centric event are Mario the Magician headlining kidโ€™s entertainment, face painting,ย one-of-a kind crafts by Hudson Valley crafters and the best food trucks. As part of the celebration of the mighty Hudson River and its waterfront villages,ย environmental education will be presented alongside a guided history walk (in partnership with Keep Rockland Beautiful) that tells the story of โ€œBricktown,โ€ the brickmaking capitol of the US.
