If we had to choose one thing to say about the Clearwater Hudson River Revival Festival....
It would be that it's not your typical summer music fest.
Located at Croton Point Park just outside of NYC, this fest is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the local train station (there's even an MTA package to cheapen travel costs and reduce carbon emissions). The stages are sustainably powered, sign language interpreters can be found at the majority of sets, the area is completely wheelchair accessible, all revenue goes toward environmental/programs hosted on the world renowned sloop Clearwater, and the list doesn’t stop there.
The Hudson River Revival was pioneered as the vision by iconic folk singer-songwriter Pete Seeger, who for the past 34 years of Clearwater's existence helped grow and foster this gathering into the destination event it is today. Now just a year after Seeger’s passing the annual festival resonates as both a legacy for his charities and a platform for which green living and social justice can prosper. Other festival events include educational programs for all ages, volunteer opportunities, and an artisanal food and farm market, along with various environmental exhibits.
But like we said before, it doesn’t stop there.....
Clearwater offers a diverse roster of performers spanning multiple genres, contributing towards the festival's ever growing sense of eclecticism. Performers this year include David Crosby, Neko Case, Citizen Cope, Guster, The Mavericks, and more! In short, Clearwater cares that this festival isn't for everyone... it's for everything!
