The corn is ripe, sweet, and ready! The Beacon Sloop Club’s Annual Corn Festival is Sunday, rain/shine, from 12-5pm at Pete and Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park, 1 Flynn Dr., Beacon, NY (Riverside of the Metro North Beacon Station). This is a fun, family friendly event along the shores of the Hudson River. Admission is free and all are welcome!
Featured is fresh-picked, sweet Hudson Valley corn, boiled and served with your choice of butter and special toppings. In addition, treats such as chilled watermelon and ice cold fresh squeezed lemonade will be available to quench your thirst on this August day.
Two solar powered music stages, one dedicated for young folks (children) to enjoy, will provide live music throughout the day. Numerous food and craft vendors will be on hand. Environmental non-profits will feature displays of local river history and the environment including information about their organization. Families can enjoy many free activities for children in addition to the dedicated children’s stage.
