Clearwater’s 3rd Annual Folk Picnic

Join Hudson River Sloop Clearwater for our third annual Folk Picnic on Saturday, August 22, 2026! We look forward to sharing a day of music, community, and activism.

Clearwater’s Annual Folk Picnic is a return to our musical roots. In the 1960s, when Pete and Toshi Seeger and their co-founders set out to build Clearwater, they organized community folk picnic fundraisers using music as a tool to unite people behind a shared goal of restoring and protecting the Hudson River. Nearly 60 years later, Clearwater is carrying our musical heritage forward with a free, community-centered day of music, celebration, family activities, and Hudson River advocacy.
