Now in its 14th year, Peekskill Celebration is the largest festival in the Hudson Valley, attracting over 20,000 people from as far away as New Jersey and Connecticut and as close by as Cortlandt Manor and Putnam Valley. Following a one-year-only change in date, Peekskill Celebration returns in 2010 to its traditional first weekend in August 6 – 8. Admission to Riverfront Green Park is free. Visitors from all over the New York City metropolitan area flock to the shores of the majestic Hudson in Peekskill in mid-summer for a memorable stay-close-to-home mini-vacation. Our festival showcases the colorful maritime heritage that Peekskill shares with the Hudson River. Family entertainment, unrivaled fireworks sponsored by Entergy, colorful Dragon Boat Races, fantastic food, and so much more are the annual hallmarks of Peekskill Celebration. Since we add new attractions all the time, check back here often for updates. You can even sign up for our newsletter called Tides. The City of Peekskill is a partner in everything we do, from providing police and emergency services to sanitation collection and logistical support.
