Clearwater's Folk Picnic is a return to our musical roots. In the 1960s when Pete and Toshi Seeger and their co-founders set out to build Clearwater, they organized community folk picnic fundraisers using music as a tool to unite people behind a shared goal of restoring and protecting the Hudson River. Nearly 60 years later, Clearwater is carrying our musical heritage forward with a free, community-centered day of music, celebration, family activities, and Hudson River advocacy.

Bring a chair or blanket, a full-reusable water bottle, and if you'd like, an instrument to play. There will also be children's activities including hair wrapping and face painting, and refreshments available for purchase, including hotdogs, cookies, and vegetarian plates made by the Beacon Sloop Club, and ice cream cones from Blue Pig Ice Cream. Please plan to bring cash or checks to purchase food from the Beacon Sloop Club.

All funds raised from the sale of Middle Eastern plates and oatmeal cookies will be donated to Fareground.
