This is a rain or shine event. Historically the festival takes place on one of the hottest weekends of the year. Please be prepared with water, a sun hat, and sunscreen.

Main Street closes to traffic at 10:30 AM, and music starts at 12:00 PM. The festival will end at 9:00 PM on Saturday and 7:00 PM on Sunday.

No glass containers or weapons. No alcohol can be brought into the festival. No pets or animals. Bicycles and skateboards must be walked. Bags will be checked at the entrances. Please consume beer in beer gardens so we can keep our liquor license.

Admission is free, although we ask for a suggested donation of $5 per person at the entrances to offset our costs. It takes over $75,000 to bring this fantastic event to life. Any profit that the street festival makes goes to support music programs in the three school districts serving the town of Rosendale.

Rosendale, NY is located between New Paltz and Kingston, about 70 minutes south of Albany, 80 minutes north of NYC, and 120 minutes southwest of Springfield, MA. The Street Festival will be taking place along Main Street, the section of Route 213 that extends West of Route 32 and through the heart of town. During the festival on Saturday and Sunday, only foot traffic is allowed.

Parking is free. Bike racks will also be available on both ends of the festival.

Official Parking Areas:
Bloomington Firehouse
Tilson School
Brookside School
Rondout Municipal Center
Binnewater Kiln Lot

Please note that parking on James Street will be for Main and James St residents, permit-only!

UCAT will be running regular shuttle buses from each of the official parking lots. Buses will also pick up and drop off passengers anyplace along the routes.

Loops will run as frequently as possible. We hope this will be one run every 30 minutes, but it may be more depending upon traffic. UCAT buses will start running at 12:30 PM both days and will last until 9:00 PM on Saturday and until 6:00 PM Sunday, so plan accordingly.

Buses will be dropping participants near the festival gate at Route 32 and Main Street (near Stewarts). There will be limited handicapped parking on the East end of Main Street (between Stewart’s and the Library).

Any lost children should be brought to the Police Command Center located at The Fire Department, 346 Main Street. You can also contact the nearest security person or stage manager.
