Croton Point Park
Please also see my Hot Tuna post for this day at Clearwater festival. As noted there, Pete Seeger performed at the 2013 Clearwater festival for the last time before he passed away.
The festival was founded in the wake of environmental effects on the Hudson River and had its origins in the building of Sloop Clearwater, which Pete Seeger and friends raised donations to build in order to promote awareness of the environmental issues with the river and more generally with the earth. In its various forms the festival has taken place for over 50 years and is a great event. The proceeds go directly to support Clearwater’s environmental research, education, and advocacy to help preserve and protect the river and its tributaries, as well as general Hudson river valley.
