Event & Activities In The Catskills & Hudson Valley | September 2024
Posted by Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty on Wednesday, August 28th, 2024 at 3:06pm
Autumn approaches! September is the in-between month in the Catskills and Hudson Valley regions. With school in session and August vacations in the rearview mirror there are less people about; peak leaf peeping time, we're told, will be firmly seated in October this year, so the traffic is just a bit lighter this month. What September is is the month for smaller local events that are 100% worth your time: attend a boutique festival, immerse yourself in a new skill (basket weaving anyone?), spend some much needed time in the woods foraging for 'shrooms. In September, the events of the Catskills and Hudson Valley are flavored with the region's rich culture, history and culinary traditions. Here are the recommendations for local events from our many local experts - the Real Estate Agents at Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty.
