We Now Have a New Fall Festival in Peekskill

September 30, 2023

What We Are Doing

Join us on Saturday October 2, at the Peekskill Riverfront Green for a Country Fair and Virtual Horse Show sponsored by the Peekskill Rotary. The 51^st Annual Horse Show will be shown virtually this year via large screens under the pavilion. There is no entrance fee and the event is from 9 am – 5 pm, rain or shine.

Attractions include live music, kids’ entertainment, food trucks, raffles, craft vendors, silent auction, pumpkin painting, horse themed children’s games, arts and crafts, bike skills rodeo, country maze and more. The “Kountry Kitchen” will be selling apple pies, cider donuts, popcorn, apples, cider, lemonade and other delectable treats.

Instead of our usual printed journal with ads, we are offering local businesses an online version that links back to their website or destination of choice.
