Since 1978, the Rosendale Street Festival has been a community tradition in the Hudson Valley. This family-friendly, volunteer-run event began as a talent showcase and birthday celebration for Rosendale icon Uncle Willy, the founder of the festival. Since its inception, it has evolved into a two-day event with over 80 bands across six stages, over 100 vendors, and activities for kids. Proceeds from the festival go toward the music departments of the Kingston, New Paltz, and Rondout Valley School Districts.
