Hudson Valley Cider Festival Draws a Crowd [PHOTOS]

The Hudson Valley Cider Festival brought hundreds of thirsty hard cider lovers to Barton Orchards in Poughquag on Saturday.

The event featured over 35 cideries and dozens of hard cider varieties. Foodies weren't disappointed, either -- the festival offered a full bakery and offerings from Chef Mark Elia’s House of Sausage and Catering Co., Clock Tower Grill and Barton Orchards.

The Hudson Valley Cider Festival provided fun for the whole family with a farmers market, a petting zoo and free hayrides.

Popular Hudson Valley party band The Bar Spies performed for the crowd of over 600, who enjoyed the festivities during a hot but beautiful July afternoon.
