Double Play Weekend in Greenwood Lake

The Village of Greenwood Lake is planning an extraordinary weekend during Oct 15-17, 2021, featuring two family-friendly events: the Lakeside Farmers Market, located at Greenwood Lake’s Thomas P. Morahan Waterfront Park (from 9AM-1PM) and the Oktoberfest Celebration (from 10AM-11PM), located on Elks Drive (Chestnut St.) in Greenwood Lake, NY.

1. Lakeside Farmers Market

The Lakeside Farmers Market has quickly established a reputation for unique, freshly-prepared baked goods, Certified Naturally Grown produce, grass-fed beef and pastured pork, naturally-made soaps and other crafts, while featuring a different mixture of not-for-profit organizations each week that offer effective programs for many underserved segments of the population, including Project Hope, Rumshock Veterans Foundation, NASA Educational Programs, and talented musicians.

“We are providing a great market for our customers which will in turn make it successful for our vendors. The response by our guests to the menu of vendors has been wonderful,” announced Market Manager, Karen Wintrow. “They like the quality of the food and other products presented by our exhibitors,” she added.

Among the vendors participating at the Lakeside Farmers Market are farmers, businesses, and crafters featuring a wide variety of items: pastured pork and grass-fed beef; poultry products such as eggs, chicken, amazingly flavored chicken sausages; produce from the Black Dirt region; local bagel and specialty pastry bakers; fresh-locally-roasted coffees; and all-natural, hand-crafted soaps.

2. Oktoberfest

The weekend events actually kick off with Greenwood Lake Family Night (Oct 15), where Warwick residents can enter festival grounds for FREE. Meanwhile, starting later on Saturday morning, the Oktoberfest celebration marks its third year, and will offer more entertainment, vendors, and events for family entertainment than ever before, while featuring German-style craft pieces and European foods & snacks, under the direction of The Village of Greenwood Lake New York & Festival Works, LLC.

Greenwood Lake’s Oktoberfest will have a full Biergarten serving up plenty of German & craft beer favorites along with authentic German foods next to a full stage lineup of live musical performances including 18 times Grammy-Award-Winner Jimmy Sturr & His Orchestra and many more! There will even be a food and craft “Vendor Village,” offering up some of Hudson Valley’s unique artists and businesses while enjoying the sounds of festive music throughout the day and night.

The Village of Greenwood Lake showcases many of the local farms and purveyors in Greenwood Lake and nearby region. The fall season is the peak time to experience the beauty and the bounty of local produce, orchards, bakeries, humanely raised beef, pork and poultry, gourmet selections, unique crafts, and information from not-for-profit organizations. The Oktoberfest Celebration event is one in a series of family-friendly events to enjoy during the fall season in this lakeside community, only an hour’s drive from New York City.
