The Friends will host their 6th Annual AQUEFEST!—a trail-long celebration of the Old Croton Aqueduct—on October 9 & 10, 2010.

We're currently planning our 6th annual, trail-long celebration of the Old Croton Aqueduct for Saturday, Oct. 9th and Sunday Oct. 10th. Committees are forming in Yonkers, Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown, Ossining and Croton.

We need you! Looking for fun, folksy, Aqueduct related or inspired artists, musicians, dancers, children's performers, historians, engineers, naturalists, trail users of all kinds. Also volunteers to host membership tables, donate baked goods, set-up and clean-up.

We're in the thick of Aquefest planning, but here's a sneak peak of the day...At the Keepers House in DOBBS FERRY award-winning storyteller, Johnathan Kruk, will engage and delight young and old with historic tales of Henry Hudson, Robert Fulton and our own Aqueduct History! Other highlights...The Sleepy Hollow String Band, Janet Grice Trio, Aqueduct Art and fun! In HASTINGS...Acoustic Riverrun, sing along the trail with the Clearwater Walkabout Chorus, Aqueduct art, story circle and more. Stay tuned for performance schedule and times.
