Special Events

Association with the high-quality, fun events that the Saugerties Chamber of Commerce puts on, including the Summer Sunset Concert series, the Public Art Display and Auction, and Holiday in the Village.

The Summer Concert Series showcases local musical talent, and offers anyone attending a great opportunity to hear great music, free, in central Saugerties locations.

Saugerties Street Art

Every year from Memorial day to Labor day the work of 30 to 40 local artists, sponsored by local businesses, is displayed through the Town and Village of Saugerties. The theme is soothing representative of the spirit of Saugerties, eg lighthouses and horses. The pieces are auctioned at a gala in September and the proceeds are divided between participating artists, a chosen local charity, and the Saugerties Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber-sponsored ‘Holiday in the Village’ brings visitors to the Village for an early December Sunday event, with crafts, toy giveaways, entertainment, horse drawn wagon rides, and many things to see, hear, and do for all ages.

Our special events continue to focus on a blend of Town and Village events.
