The Irvington Farmers Market provides the community with fresh, local produce direct from field to table. We support the local merchants of Irvington by increasing the number of visitors to our village, and we bring together Irvington friends and neighbors in a friendly, vibrant gathering place.

Our market is nestled against the leafy Old Croton Aqueduct trail so many of our shoppers come on foot, with their dogs. We happen to have some of the cutest pooches in the Rivertowns. And there’s a water bowl at the market tent for them, too.

Hudson Chorale Concert: Hensel, Vivaldi, Mozart
2024-06-09 15:00 - 17:00 | Irvington Presbyterian Church, North Broadway, Irvington, NY, 10533, United States
Hudson Chorale Concert: Hensel, Vivaldi, Mozart
“What is a human?” Come hear Hudson Chorale give Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel’s answer in a performance of her sublime cantata Hiob, with text from The Book of Job. This work has been all but silenced for two centuries by the prominence of her famous brother. We delight in contributing to Hensel’s long overdue appreciation as a major artist of the nineteenth century.
Due to happenstance in choral history, Vivaldi’s Gloria (RV 588) is not as frequently performed as the ever-popular (RV 589), but it is every bit as vibrant and wonderful.
And come to hear the exquisite melodies and exciting fugues of Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de Confessore (“Solemn Vespers”), a work whose intricate and profound beauties have been recognized and beloved since its creation in 1780.
Hudson Chorale, under the baton of Artistic Director David Baranowski, will perform with orchestra and soloists Francesca Federico, soprano; Allison Gish, contralto; Joseph Klebanoff, tenor; Richard Lippold, bass.
The concerts will be on Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9 at 3pm at Irvington Presbyterian Church, 25 North Broadway, Irvington, NY 10533
Tickets can be purchased for $30 each from members of the Hudson Chorale, or through https://bit.ly/juneconcert
For further information, please visit www.HudsonChorale.org or email us at info@hudsonchorale.org
Hudson Chorale is grateful to the New York State Council on the Arts, the Westchester Community Foundation, and Arts Westchester which awarded us funds to support our work and community outreach this year.

Great Estates Garden Tours at Mount Gulian
2024-06-15 11:00 - 2024-06-16 13:00 | Mount Gulian Historic Site, 145 Sterling Street, Beacon, NY, 12508, United States
Mount Gulian Historic Site, Beacon, in cooperation with Dutchess Tourism, invites visitors to explore its garden and unique horticultural history on Saturday, June 15 & Sunday, June 16. Special tours of the garden will be given at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Visitors will learn about the garden’s origins, evolution, and notable gardeners, including Mary Anna Verplanck, who as a precocious eleven-year-old, designed the original 1804 garden; James F. Brown, an enslaved man who fled Maryland and worked as Mount Gulian’s master gardener; and Virginia Eliza Darby Verplanck whose literary contributions include two gardening books, Every Day in My Garden and A Year in My Garden from the early 20th century. Learn tips, tricks, and techniques from the past that kept boxwood gardens green and glorious. Visitors will receive a complimentary copy of the garden’s 1912 map. A short film about Mr. Brown, “Cultivating Freedom: From Slave to Citizen” will be shown.

Today, notable plantings in the garden include antique peonies, roses and yuccas that were returned to Mount Gulian in 1995 by a Verplanck descendant who removed them from the site in the 1960’s. After carefully tending to them for thirty years at her home’s garden, she learned of our plans to restore the garden and happily brought them home.

Admission to this special tour is: $14 adults; $12 seniors; $8 youngsters (6-18 years). Children under 6 and Mount Gulian members are free. Membership is open to the public.

Reservations are preferred but walk-ins will be accepted if space allows. For reservations call 845.831.8172 or email at info@mountgulian.org. Payment may be made day of visit.
