Hudson Valley and Catskills Events For 4th Of July Weekend 2024
Posted by Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024 at 1:06pm
Let Freedom Ring, Let Freedom Ring, Let Freedom Ring! At Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty the Fourth of July might be our favorite holiday. Here’s why…
- The weather almost never fails to be beautiful!
- There are fireworks!!!
- Everyone from across the Hudson Valley and Catskills from the community groups, to the breweries and distilleries, to art galleries, to the farmers, butchers, bakers and chefs all seem to have the singular goal of giving us a great weekend! We’ll take it.
Let’s start with the main event…
Every year we fuss over whether or not to create our own guide the 4th of July fireworks celebrations in the Catskills and Hudson Valley only to discover that two local publications, Chronogram Magazine and Hudson Valley Magazine, do an incredible job of putting together nearly exhaustive lists. In 2024 we’re just sending you straight there!
Wherever you land for fireworks, you’ll probably find one of us - there are over 100 of us and we like to spread ourselves around! Look for the Coldwell Banker Village Green Logo walking through the crowd and let your real estate questions fly as the 1812 Overture plays and the sky gets sparkly.
We've also put together a shortlist of events culled from the hundreds you have to choose from in Ulster, Greene, Columbia, Orange, Sullivan, and Dutchess Counties. They share the common threads of being at venues we know and love and being experiences we feel are unique to this part of the world.
Whatever you choose to do, we hope you have an incredible weekend enjoying the sights and sounds of the Catskills and Hudson Valley within this incredible country that affords us the freedom to enjoy them.
10 Events For 4th Of July Weekend 2024
Classical Music In The Catskills
Where: Jewett
Tucked in the mountains of Greene County, The Grazhda is a charming building that looks like it sprang up with the mountains themselves. It’s actually part of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church and Cultural Center and it serves as the venue for the classical music concert series presented by the Music and Art Center of Greene County. It’s an intimate concert venue where you can hear world-class classical music in a room that feels like it might have hosted a country ball three hundred years ago. They’re openning offering features soprano Stefania Dovhan who has sung leading roles in such prestigious opera houses as Royal Opera, New York City Opera, Mozarteum in Austria, Staatstheater in Nürnberg (Germany), and Theater Hagen in Germany.
Twin Star Orchards Pig Roast
Where: New Paltz
Twin Star is one of our favorite spots in Ulster County! We’ve had them host company parties because it’s a pretty perfect place, a place where we’re happy to spend our free time. Is it beautiful and breezy? Yes! Who doesn’t want to have an elevated picnic in an apple orchard? Is the food good? Yes! Their burgers are DELICIOUS. Their pizza is DELICIOUS. We’re sure their pig roast will be DELICIOUS. Is there cider? Yes indeed! There’s great cider! Try the “Bone Dry”. They have corn hole and other games available that will tempt you to stay all afternoon. Who doesn’t love corn hole? Let us know how the roast was!
Levanta at The Rail Trail Café
Where: New Paltz
The Rail Trail Café couldn’t be more charming. It’s a little wooden caravan and a covered dining space located on The Larsen Family's Stone Mountain Farm adjacent to the Empire State Trail. They have frequent musical guests. On the 5th they’re welcoming Levanta, a quartet who focuses on unique instrumentation, playing original and classic tunes performed with ancient instruments… So cool!
Cement Town - A Rosendale Story
Where: Rosendale
Both a play and a walking tour, this experiential theatre piece explores the Snyder and Sons family cement business literally and figuratively. Set in the late 1800s, it tells the story of the town’s history - the cement workers and townspeople who made Rosendale. Note, this performance in suitable for ages 12 and up.
Catskills Crew's 4th Of July Party At Deer Mountain Inn
Where: Tannersville
The Deer Mountain Inn is quintessential Catskills. It also happens to be down the street from one of our newest listings, the amazing Caddam Hill – it’s very similar in style and feel to the Inn, a sister if you will. Attend the Catskill Crew party for oysters, martini classes, lawn games (more corn hole!) and dancing. If you love the Deer Mountain Inn as much as we do, you’ll want to take a look at Caddam Hill.
Driving Miss Daisy at Bannersman Island
Where: Glenham
Bannerman Island, the ruins of an American castle on an island off Beacon, and Driving Miss Daily are an unlikely pairing - but unlikely pairings often make for notable experiences! Plus, we have a special connection to this production; Ron Morehead, the husband of Aysa Morehead from our Catskill Office is performing. He’s always great!
Midsummer Magic At Windham Fine Arts

As you’re out and about in Greene County stop by Windham Fine Arts, just down the street from our Windham Office. They’re exhibiting the unique, whimsical still life paintings of Gina Blickenstaff.
