Great Hudson River Revival 2008 is over.
The 2008 festival was a tremendous event. Saturday saw record attendance under warm blue skies. The buzz and momentum for the weekend gave all of us good feelings of community and celebration. It’s unfortunate Mother Nature didn’t get the memo! On Sunday rain and lightning dampened the festivities, but they didn’t dampen the spirit of the festival. After 42 years this unique and wonderful river festival is still going strong and will be for many more years.
 
Next year’s Revival will be on the summer solstice,
June 20 and 21, 2009.
