Sleepy Hollow Mermaid Festival

Mermaids? Yes, you read that right.

Part of Sleepy Hollow’s yearlong 150th anniversary celebration is the first Mermaid Festival and Parade at Kingsland Point Park on July 20th. The event kicks off with a costume parade on both land and water — mermaids, pirates, sturgeon, and other creative creatures will march along the shoreline while Rivertowns SUP & Yoga leads paddleboarders and kayakers on the Hudson (rentals available).

After the parade, there will be a party in the park with food trucks, bounce houses, music, community art making, and a chance to meet a real river mermaid.
