At the beginning of April, almost 400 years to the day when Henry Hudson set sail from Holland, Ulster County will kick off a multi-event arts and history extravaganza.
(Ulster County, March 17) At the beginning of April, almost 400 years to the day when Henry Hudson set sail from Holland, Ulster County will kick off a multi-event arts and history extravaganza. Located in the mid-Hudson Valley, 90 miles north of New York City on the Hudson River, the mostly rural county will bustle with activity from spring to fall. Thousands of tulips will burst into bloom, gorgeous banners designed and painted by area artists will hang over the streets of Kingston (a small historic city on the Hudson River), and 45 gaily artist-decorated carousel horses will embellish the sidewalks of Saugerties, a classic Main Street town. Exhibitions, lectures, and performances will explore the county’s Dutch roots, the Native American people they encountered and the landscape, ecology and culture of the Hudson River. Details on the celebrations’ dozens of events, maps, and general information are available at http://www.hudsonriver400.org/. Read more »
