Happy weekend! August already! There’s a lot happening this weekend, so let’s get right to it…
Brews, Views, and Blooms: Dancing Grain Farm Brewery in Gansevoort is opening their u-pick flower field this weekend! Grab a beer, stroll the field, and pick a bucket of blooms! Click here to make a reservation for flower picking…cheers!
Adirondack Theater Festival: ATF’s final show of the season, Tuning In (the biggest musical in ATF history!) — opens this week. The show runs through next Wednesday, so grab your tickets here!
LARAC Locals Festival: Another LARAC Festival! This one will bring together young artists under the age of 40 who are currently working and creating in our surrounding counties. Stop by City Park from 10am-5pm on Saturday to browse the vendors. Details here!
Community Day at The Hyde Collection: Head to The Hyde on Sunday from 10am-5pm for art activities, museum tours, live music, food, ice cream, a book sale, and more! Find the details and schedule of events here! Did we mention admission is free?!
More Brews and Blooms: Can you ever have enough flowers? Common Roots is hosting Blooming Acres Farm on Sunday starting at noon - grab a beer, a bite to eat, and a bouquet of fresh blooms! Details here.
Washington County Antique Fair: We brake for barn sales and antique shops, always, so it’s no surprise that the Washington County Antique Fair is high on our list this weekend. We’re looking forward to strolling the Fairgrounds (giant bag of kettle corn in hand, of course), and seeing what kinds of treasures await. More info here!
Antique Weekend at The Farm Store at Tiashoke: Did you catch our First Look at The Farm Store at Tiashoke last fall (here’s the link for a refresher!)? They’ve filled the barn’s basement with antiques this year, and this weekend they’re hosting an Antique Festival, complete with additional antique vendors, local makers and bakers, a food truck, and an antique car show on Sunday from 11am-2pm! Sounds like a perfect country weekend to us! Details here.
Philadelphia Orchestra at SPAC: The Philadelphia Orchestra opened their 2023 residency at SPAC last night! If you’ve never been to a performance, we’d highly recommend it - we went last night and had the most wonderful time. Golden hour, a stroll through the State Park to the Amphitheater, a glass of wine, and the most beautiful music echoing through the air. Their residency runs through August 19, and includes fun shows like Harry Potter in Concert and Jurassic Park in Concert - scoop up your tickets here!
Lake George Music Festival: Speaking of beautiful music, the Lake George Music Festival kicks off this weekend as well! Taking place in the newly renovated Carriage House at the Fort William Henry, the Festival offers the opportunity to experience exceptional classical music within a historic and picturesque setting, overlooking the Lake. The Festival runs from August 6-17 - find the details and purchase tickets here!
Enjoy the weekend,
