Hudson River Craft Beer Festival Comes to Newburgh on 9/28
The Hudson River Craft Beer Festival has been the premium Craft Beer sampling event in the Hudson Valley for over 10 years. It was announced earlier this year that the City of Beacon would no longer allow any ticked events in their parks since the city "no longer see(s) a need to encourage commerce with special events in (the) parks", citing the fact that the Beacon now has enough tourism.
Hudson River Craft Beer Festival Moved To Newburgh
We are happy to announce that the event will return this year to the even larger People's WaterFront Park on the Newburgh Waterfront. This new park is located on the river directly down the hill from Newburgh Brewery and a short walk from Billy Joe's Rib Works. (Located on the map where it says "City of Newburgh Waterfront Trail")
