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 be children's activities and food to purchase from the Beacon Sloop Club and Blue Pig Ice Cream.
