FREE Admission & FREE Parking

The changing of the seasons is underway, signified by the warm, golden colors adopted by the leaves as they rustle in the autumn winds and float to the ground. The oncoming winter will be arriving soon, and we’re celebrating with our official send-off to the summer season at our annual Fall Festival. Both weekends will be jam packed with fun-filled activities for the entire family! Feast your taste buds, eyes, and other senses with dozens of local food, beverage, and craft vendors highlighting the unique culture native to the Catskills & Hudson Valley. Live music will float through the cool air all day, and the sights will be truly one-of-a-kind with a fall foliage-filled Scenic Gondola Ride. The kids will be thoroughly entertained with fun lawn games, arts & craft activities such as decorate a pumpkin, and more! As always, it will be a fantastic two weekends, and we look forward to seeing you on the mountain for our official pre-winter get together.

Booth space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, based on postmark dates. All vendor spaces will be measured and outlined. As a courtesy to others, all vendors are asked to bring only enough merchandise that will fit in the assigned space.  Indoor and outdoor spaces will be assigned so please let us know if you have any special requests. An email will be sent to all vendors with a final location and layout closer to the festival date.

We strive to retain the high quality and variety of artwork, crafts and products that we have had in the past. In order to monitor the quality of the items. In order to do so, we are asking that all new vendors submit photos of their products.   We will show special consideration to crafters who include activities for children. Please also note, that there may be vendors that sell similar items.
