On Saturday, Sept. 6, Historic Hudson River Towns will present “Music Across the Hudson,” a full day of free music at six locations highlighting scenic riverwalks, river crossings, ferry connections and more in Westchester and Rockland counties. The rain date is Sunday, Sept. 7.
Performances in Ossining and Haverstraw will highlight the “new” (second season) weekend ferry service connecting the two river villages. Operated by NY Waterway in conjunction with Metro-North Railroad and the MTA, the weekend service has become popular with residents and visitors alike. In Haverstraw, each ferry meets a free bus provided by Rockland County, bringing visitors to multiple destinations in the county.
Performances in Ossining will take place on the waterfront stage at Louis Engel Park, steps from the ferry landing, and feature The Barn Vultures (3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and Funk & Disorderly (4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.). In Haverstraw, Adriano y la El Fuego Band will perform on the waterfront at Emeline Park, blocks from the ferry landing, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. A free circus performance featuring the Flotsam River Circus will follow shortly after the concert from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Emeline Park.
