We've been covering this region long enough to know what a perfect Hudson Valley weekend actually looks like. This one was built for two.

May 1 through 3, one of the best craft fairs in the Northeast takes over the grounds of Lyndhurst Mansion, and we built an entire weekend around it, a historic estate hotel, a waterfront dinner on the Hudson, a bottle of small-batch bourbon made here in the Hudson Valley, and a night out in Dobbs Ferry that does not know when to quit. We are giving the whole thing away to one winner. But whether you enter or not, this is the weekend blueprint worth bookmarking.

Picture this: a sun-dappled weekend in New Paltz, NY, where the air buzzes with creativity, the scent of sizzling street food dances around you, and every corner bursts with color and craft. Welcome to the Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair, a twice-yearly explosion of art, soul, and community hosted by Quail Hollow Events at the breathtaking Ulster County Fairgrounds.

After six long years of silence, Mountain Jam is back—louder, lovelier, and ready to reclaim its place at the heart of the NE music scene!
