Warmer weather is on its way in the Hudson Valley and that means that it's almost Bethel Woods concert season.

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is more than a concert venue, it is a place where all ages come together to enjoy music, share convos, laughs and more.

Known for their summer concerts, Bethel Woods also has indoor concerts in their event gallery space and tours to explore in their historic museum. They have a walking trail, the Bindy Baazar trail and events throughout the year except for January and February.

Today, the grounds that the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival took place on, live on. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is a place that makes me feel calm, happy, peaceful and full of love. It brings together a community of music lovers and like minded guests.

The 2024 summer concert season at Bethel Woods was fun, magical and something that I'll always remember.
