Haverstraw Eats and Beats Enters 11th Year

After last year’s smashing ten-year celebration, news has been heating up about the music coming to the Haverstraw Crawl Eats and Beats for its 11th annual event – set for Sunday, September 14 from 1pm to 5pm. Credit this to  some vibrant new sounds featured in this year’s musical lineup.

Opening the afternoon festivities will be the Brass Queens – a  female-led brass band known for their bold sound, high-energy performances and dynamic  mix of funk, soul, pop and traditional New Orleans brass band music. “The Brass Queens  have been captivating audiences across the country. We believe their infectious energy  make them a perfect group to kick things off at this year’s Crawl,” said Richard Sena, president of Haverstraw Riverwide Arts, co-sponsors of the event.

Musical headliners the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra is a thrilling 11-piece salsa group which plays dynamic, dura arrangements of indie rock tunes and much-loved songs to a Latin beat. Their explosive arrangements  have led to international acclaim for its completely new approach to this musical genre. All  forms of dancing are highly encouraged!

To warm up the crowds and to keep the beat alive in between musical sets will be our  master of ceremonies, DJ Drewski from Hot 97 NYC.

Now in its eleventh year, The Haverstraw Crawl Eats and Beats has become one of  Rockland and Westchester Counties most anticipated annual events, drawing additional guests from all over the metro-NYC area. The NY Waterway Ferry which runs daily service  from Haverstraw to Ossining to connect directly with the Metro NY train station will be  running from 12pm to 6pm during the event, with free shuttle bus service for visitors from  the landing in Haverstraw directly to downtown where all the action will be taking place.

The Crawl begins in front of the Webster Bank lot, 38 New Main Street. Food Crawl maps  will be given out there and throughout the entire downtown area outlining the locations of  the 20 plus restaurants participating – along with these added attractions: The NY Craft and  Beverage Garden, featuring Sing Sing Kill Brewery, Liquid Fables, Stony Point Brewing,  Tuthilltown and Round Table Brewery. Activities to delight the youngsters – Lalli the Clown,  Lawn Games and a Balloon Twister. A special crafts area will also be set up courtesy of the  Haverstraw Brick Museum.

“Each year, the Eats and Beats Food Crawl brings people together – through our  community’s delicious local foods, music, dance and our culture,” said Mike Kohut, Mayor  of The Village of Haverstraw. “This year we are beyond excited to be featuring bands that  we believe will bring an unforgettable experience to those visiting our community.”

Spotlight on Rockland Theater

All My Sons

Elmwood Playhouse

Nyack

*Opening Night*

September 12th – October 4th, 2025

During the war, Joe Keller and Steve Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money. The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action. The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father’s partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power. The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.
