Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

Have you ever dreamt about spending a moonlit evening on the Walkway while enjoying scenic views of the Hudson River Valley? Here's your chance! Enjoy breathtaking twilight views from 212 feet above the Hudson River. View the night sky with telescopes provided by the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association (weather permitting).

For the safety of all, bicycles, rollerblades, and skateboards are not permitted for this event. If you bring your furry friends along for the fun, all pets must be on a 4-foot non-retractable leash with a light up collar (glow sticks will be available while supplies last).

Cost: FREE to Walkway members. Donation encouraged for non-members – or become a member and help us continue to present fun and exciting events on the Walkway throughout the year! Registration is not required.

The early bird gets the view! Join your fellow early risers to celebrate the first Sunday of Spring and Fall with a Sunrise Stroll on the Walkway. Enjoy the sunrise and Walkway’s spectacular views of the Hudson River Valley. The east and west gates to the Walkway will open at 6:30 AM. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

6:30AM – 7:30AM | Location: Walkway Over the Hudson | FREE | All Ages
