Music lineup coming Spring 2026
Bring Back the Vans
Back in the 70s and 80s, vans were more than just transportation — people customized them, road-tripped in them, and made them part of their lifestyle. We’re bringing that fun energy back in a simple, family-friendly way.
We’ll have 10 vintage vans each day coming in from different places, and festival guests will get to vote for their favorite. One winner each day — just a fun, friendly competition. Even if you don’t know anything about vintage vans, it’s still cool to walk through, check them out, take photos, and enjoy the vibe while the kids hang out and the music plays.
And if you’ve got a van with some personality or history, we’d love to include you.

Featured Vendors
A group of vintage dealers, makers, artists, and small businesses who help set the tone for this year’s festival. From mid-century finds and vinyl records to handmade ceramics, jewelry, textiles, and collectibles...these vendors represent the creativity of Vintage in the Hudson Valley.
Come Hungry — Leave Happy
Food plays a starring role at Vintage in the Hudson Valley. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory, something sweet, or that perfect iced coffee moment, our food trucks and local food vendors will keep you fueled all weekend.
Grab a plate, find a sunny spot to relax, and enjoy the day at your own pace.
Family-Friendly Festival Weekend
Vintage in the Hudson Valley is a family-friendly event with space for everyone to hang out, explore, and enjoy the weekend. We’ll have a Kids Marketplace where young entrepreneurs run their own booths, bounce houses, and areas that promote peace and creativity. Blankets will be sold on-site for picnics on the lawn while the music plays and vendors do their thing.
Why We Created This Festival
We know the vintage scene in the Hudson Valley and we believe small businesses should have a place to thrive and keep the eras alive. Small businesses deserve a platform. Handmade matters. Shopping should feel personal again. Community isn’t built on screens. Summer was meant for music, good food, and discovering new things. And it just feels good to support artists, makers, and entrepreneurs.
Vintage in the Hudson Valley is our way of bringing that energy back to New York State.
