Summer fairs and festivals in Westchester and the Hudson Valley offer a ton of ways to party al fresco this summer. The region's staged outdoor entertainment options are wide-ranging, including picnic-blanket music festivals and cultural-heritage feasts.

We are kicking off the summer festivities with the family-friendly Scarsdale Music Festival and a Juneteenth Kickoff Festival in New Rochelle. Other stand-out events include the first-ever Sleepy Hollow Mermaid Festival and the annual Bear Mountain Native American Heritage Celebration and Pow Wow.
