Clearwater's Folk Picnic

Join Hudson River Sloop Clearwater for their third-annual Folk Picnic! Enjoy a day of music, community, and activism, featuring a full lineup of musicians, kids’ activities, and environmental education, opportunities to learn about and take action for the Hudson River, and refreshments available for purchase. Download the stage schedule.

All are invited to bring their own instruments for the long-standing Clearwater tradition of collaborative music-making in a Circle of Song. Children’s activities, including face-painting and hair wrapping, will be available.

La Talaye will be serving rice bowls, empanadas, salads, water, and lemonade, and Penny Lick Ice Cream will be scooping all afternoon. Bring a blanket or folding chairs, a full reusable water bottle, a hat, and sunscreen, and be sure to dress for the weather in layers.

Be one of the first 40 people to join Clearwater as a member or renew your membership at Folk Picnic and receive a limited-edition, stainless steel Clearwater water bottle as a membership gift!

Parking is limited, so walk or bike if possible. The Beacon Bike Coalition will be providing a free Bike Valet. Getting there is easy by riding the Metro-North Railroad or driving your car to the Beacon Metro-North Station and taking the Beacon Free Loop Bus (G Bus) to Wolcott Avenue and Howland Avenue and walking 0.5 miles to the USC Theater.

Clearwater’s Folk Picnic is rain or shine! If the weather is challenging, Folk Picnic will take place inside the USC Theater.
