Woodstock, a 12 mile drive, is a haven for shops, galleries and restaurants.
Stroll along Tinker Street and explore all that Woodstock has to

Wednesdays. Enjoy a concert at the historic Maverick or live theater
at the Woodstock Playhouse. The Woodstock Film Festival, held each October, is a movie lovers delight.

including several antique stores where you'll hunt for potential treasures.
Saugerties hosts many festivals and events such as the Garlic
Festival and the Jazz Festival. A colorful Farmers
