Fall Crafts at Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst, Tarrytown
September 12-14
What do you imagine the perfect backdrop for a summer craft fair is? How about a sprawling 67-acre park that is a National Historic Landmark sitting along the Hudson River? Even though we’re approaching late summer here, Artrider’s longest-running festival will have everything you can think of this September. Not only will there be a number of vendors, food and drink options, and kid-friendly activities, but access in the park is included with each ticket as well. In other words, why not spend the day on the grounds of Lyndhurst while you’re there?
