5th Annual Pete Seeger Festival

Tompkins Corners,, Putnam Valley

Posted

This is a FREE, family-friendly event outdoors on the Tompkins Corners lawn, with Covid guidelines in place (masks required and social distancing). If the weather is iffy, the stage will be set up in the carriage shed. Refreshments will be available. Donations will be gratefully accepted and will be shared with local organizations that Pete created, including the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, the Beacon Sloop Club, and the River Pool at Beacon.

Scheduled performers include David and Jacob Bernz, Betty and the Baby Boomers, Lydia Adams Davis, Patrick Stanfield Jones, Pat Lamanna, Sharleen Leahey, the Trouble Sisters: Melissa Ortquist, Laurie Siegel and Karen Brooks, Andy Revkin, and Sarah Underhill.
  
The musicians were all Pete’s friends who performed with him and sailed with him on the sloops Clearwater and Woody Guthrie and worked with him at the Beacon Sloop Club. In addition to singing Pete’s songs and their own, they will reminisce about the man who inspired so many people in the course of his 94 years.
