Ways To Subscribe

Over the years, The Ashokan Center’s Winter Hoot has become a signature Hudson Valley event. The 12th edition is set for January 31-February 2. The Winter Hoot is a three-day festival, a community celebration with music, food and activities.

Ruth Ungar, who co-founded the Hoot with her husband, Mike Merenda, describes it as “kind of like a big house party."

The event begins with a Friday dinner, concert, and jam, continues with music, fun activities, and dancing all day/night on Saturday, and ends with yoga and a farewell singalong on Sunday.
