Events & Activities In The Catskills & Hudson Valley

Autumn approaches! September is the in-between month in the Catskills and Hudson Valley regions.

Let’s face it, many things about adulting in 2024 are difficult and packed full of distractions! When we approach a big decision (like which Upstate property to buy) family and friends have advice and opinions and there are emotional concerns to weigh along with practical concerns. Some days we can approach these big decisions with vim and vigor, some days we have nothing! And sometimes our brains can’t see the forest for the trees because decision fatigue is a real thing. The average adult makes 33,000 to 35,000…

Welcome, fellow adventurers, culture connoisseurs, and accidental tourists who took a right turn while searching Upstate Real Estate on our website and ended up on our Hudson Valley and Catskills events blog!
