Popular Hudson Valley Carnival Set to Return After Years-Hiatus

Small village in Dutchess County getting ready for return of their annual firemen's carnival.

The small village of Millbrook in Dutchess County is 90 miles north of New York City and is often referred to as a low-key version of the Hamptons. It is one of the most affluent villages in New York. Millbrook's population was 1,455 as of the 2020 Census.

Millbrook, NY has always been home to many big-name celebrities and is a charming little town to visit. There was a time when you could run into the likes of Liam Neeson, Mary Tyler  Moore, Bette Midler, Ric Ocasek of The Cars and "The Emperor of Rock n Roll" Richie Scarlet on any given day in Millbrook.

The Millbrook Fireman's Carnival was always an annual community event hosted by the Millbrook Fire Department in Millbrook, New York. Typically held in July, the carnival would serve as a major fundraiser for the department, supporting its operations and equipment needs. The carnival would usually run from Wednesday to Saturday, with festivities beginning each evening at 7 PM at the Thorne Building on Franklin Avenue.

I always remember the Millbrook Carnival for being a fun time, whether it be for the food and games or for watching live music on select nights and karaoke sessions.
