- Where: Boscobel - Garrison, NY
For 20 years, Riverkeeper’s Shad Fest has been a celebration of the vast numbers of American shad that returned each year to the Hudson River to spawn. The shad run has been a welcome sign of spring, rebirth and renewal for thousands of years, since the Lenape Indians populated the Hudson’s shores. Sadly, the shad population has declined in recent years to dangerously low levels and the focus of this year’s event is on saving the American Shad and other Hudson River signature fish which are similarly at risk.
This all-day festival takes place on the banks of the Hudson River and provides the perfect opportunity for friends and family to enjoy a day in the country celebrating the resource Riverkeeper works to protect.
