CLERMONT:
An Old-Fashioned Independence Day at Clermont State Park
Join in the Revolutionary Ball on the lawn overlooking the Hudson River or try out historic games like Graces and stilts. Later in the evening, settle down on your picnic blanket to watch a view of Saugerties fireworks over the river. This is an excellent display for young children as the noise is reduced by the distance.
Live music and the laughter of children fill the air from 2-10pm.
Great family entertainment for only $10 per vehicle!
