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

Known for their summer concerts, Bethel Woods also has indoor concerts in their event gallery space, tours to explore in their historic museum and a walking trail, the Bindy Baazar trail.

Bethel Woods also has events in the all throughout except for when they close in from January and February. These groovy grounds bring music lovers together from all over the world. History buffs also love that Bethel Woods is the home to the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival.

Today, the grounds that the Woodstock Festival took place live on. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is a place that instantly makes me feel peaceful, calm and full of love, I love being there. I often refer to Bethel Woods as my happy place within the Hudson Valley.

In 2024, Bethel Woods added two new features including their Laughing Cat Coffee trailer. They also started their Peace, Love & Camping last season by offering camping options to concert attendees the nights of shows.

I always thought it would be a great idea to camp on the same grounds of the three day, 1969 Woodstock Music Festival as they once did too. 2024 was a successful year for Bethel Woods and made music lovers happy with a wide variety of different concert options.
