2023 Holiday Light Displays Announced At Bethel Woods

How lucky are we to have the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock here in the Hudson Valley? Not only do we have access to a jam-packed concert schedule each year, but Bethel Woods Center for the Arts also offers several other attractions that have become yearly transitions for many in the area.

I know, I know - we're less than a week into summer and here we are already talking about the holiday season and fall and winter events.

Nonetheless, it's never too early to start thinking about family friendly activities that will be happening this fall and winter.

Bethel Woods Announces Dates for Peace, Love & Pumpkins

Returning for it's third year, Peace, Love & Pumpkins will run from October 13th through the 29th, with the event open from 6:30-10pm each day. Tickets are already available (and at a discounted price through September 4th).

Visitors will be able to travel through thousands of unique hand-carved jack-o-lanterns and glowing pumpkin art. Not only your typical halloween-themed decor, some of the displays are even based off of Woodstock festival icons!

In addition to live music on select nights, and Boos and Booze, Bethel Woods will also bring back Friday Night Frights, an adult-geared tour through the grounds.

They'll also be offering several special themed nights and events, with the full Peace, Love & Pumpkins schedule here.
