Major celebratory events for the United States’ 250th anniversary are planned throughout the state of New York, from down in Long Island to up in the northern and western parts of the state.
The City of Port Jervis will host the America the Beautiful Festival on June 13 and 14. The event will feature Revolutionary War reenactors, food, and live folk and Americana music. Families can bring their children to the rural Hudson Valley celebration to enjoy a car show, bouncy castles, and a scheduled performance by two-time world champion chainsaw woodcarver Dennis Beach.
