The Rosendale Street Festival - The 2011 Taft Street Festival Guide

Posted by Dylan Taft on Wednesday, July 20th, 2011 at 12:28pm.



The annual Rosendale Street Festival is a beloved local event that has grown and expanded year after year. This weekend’s upcoming festival is no exception! Much like the town of Rosendale itself, the Rosendale Street Festival started from humble beginnings, and through the hard work of volunteers has blossomed into a venue that showcases local talent. Located just 7 miles from New Paltz, NY (Exit 18 on the NYS Thruway), the Street Festival is no doubt a feasible weekend trip for New York City residents. At Taft Street Realty we’ve got your 2011 Rosendale Street Festival Guide, a few tips to help you enjoy one of the coolest local events of the summer!

 

 

Plan Your Parking...

 

Main Street Rosendale will be closed to all traffic, starting at 10am Saturday & Sunday. Current construction on Rte. 213 will make parking at this year’s festival a little hairy. The festival offers free parking at 5 different designated sites around the area. Ulster County Transit will then be running free shuttles down to the festival. The shuttles will start at 12:30 on Saturday and Sunday. These buses will run continuously through 9:30 pm on Saturday and 6:30 pm on Sunday. The festival’s website states that they will try and run buses approximately every ½ hour, so be prepared to hang out and keep cool in your chosen parking lot at least for a little while.

 

 

Plenty To Do and See!1_549

 

Upon arriving at the festival, entrance is free however a suggested donation of $5 per person is greatly appreciated. Pets and animals are not allowed at the festival. You may bring a skateboard, bike, etc. however, they must be walked through main thoroughfare. No alcohol or glass containers are permitted, but don’t worry if you’d like a cold drink, as there are beer gardens and food vendors throughout the festival. In fact there are tons of great food, drinks, and local vendors and artists selling all sorts of things, so we encourage any support to our local artisans. 

 

There will be no shortage of free entertainment! The festival will have 5 stages with over 70 bands scheduled to play. The constant stream of music is complimented by impromptu drum circles and some fascinating people-watching! The festival will go on rain or shine, and weather reports are calling for a steamy weekend, so please be sure to dress accordingly and prepare for heat and sun exposure. Most important of all, have a great time and enjoy yourself!
