Festivals

The Belleayre Music Festival (181 Galli Curci Rd., Highmount, 845/254-6094, www.belleayremusic.org) draws a large crowd of music lovers to the Catskills each summer. Popular with kids in October is the Headless Horseman Hayrides & Haunted Houses (778 Broadway, Ulster Park, 845/339-2666, www.headlesshorseman.com) on Route 9W between Highland and Kingston. The attraction is open during the last two weekends in September and every weekend in October. Reservations are required.

The 100-year-old Ulster County Fair (249 Libertyville Rd., 845/255-1380, www.ulstercountyfair.com, $17) takes place in August each year, with music, amusement rides, and fireworks. The fairgrounds are located two miles outside New Paltz. Each October, the Woodstock Film Festival (845/810-0131, www.woodstockfilmfestival.com) draws a group of leading filmmakers, critics, and local enthusiasts to watch some of the industry’s newest and boldest independent films.

Hardneck garlic is indigenous to the Saugerties area; July is the harvest season. Some say it’s bitterer than what you buy at the grocery store; others disagree. See for yourself during the last weekend in September, when Saugerties hosts the wildly popular Hudson Valley Garlic Festival (Pavilion St., Saugerties, 845/246-3090, www.hvgf.org, adults $10, under age 12 free, cash only). Local musicians, guest chefs, and a long list of food vendors all participate.
