Thankfully, we are now entering into Bethel Woods season! It’s my favorite time of year as live music concerts are starting for the season, outdoors.

If you’re looking for an incredible music venue in the Hudson Valley then you’ll enjoy Bethel Woods season. I often refer to this location as my happy place.

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located in Sullivan County, NY. It’s home to the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival and love, peace and good vibes can still be felt on the grounds today.

I love that everyone is welcome at Bethel Woods, it's a place where all ages can come together to enjoy music. Along with their concerts, they have workshops, educational programs, fun events and more throughout the year.

Their museum and Bindy Bazaar trail highlights the history of these grounds and allows us to learn.
