Ulster County Announces Exciting Night Market For Spring 2026

The Kingston Waterfront is a staple within Ulster County, NY. History buffs and locals enjoy learning about the rich history of this area. This waterfront district can also be referred to as The Strand or even The Rondout. The Kingston Waterfront is located in the downtown area of Kingston and is a popular destination.

I love strolling through the historic district and visiting The Reher Center, Half Moon Rondout Cafe Coffee and Donuts along with spending time near the Hudson River. I enjoyed a fun sunset cruise that took off from the Kingston Waterfront area as well!

The Kingston Waterfront made an exciting post on social media and on their website recently. Soon enough, we can join their Night Market.
