Town & Village of Corinth - Quadricentennial "Day of Celebration"
Saturday, August 29th - 9am

The Town and Village of Corinth are Co-Coordinating a Quadricentennial “Day of Celebration “ of the 400th Anniversary of the NYS Waterways exploration by Henry Hudson and the subsequent naming and development along the Hudson River. We will be honoring the significance of the River in establishing the History of Corinth. We are hoping to bring that historical background as a reminder to our area residents, but also to our many area visitors! We hope to do this through storytellers, narrative wagon trips along the Riverside, Boat Tours, and various informative displays. There will also be various food venues, musical presentations and other Activities along the river area that flows through our Village and Town.

The Day will commence with a Breakfast at the Corinth Emergency Squad Building from 9 to 11 AM. River Boat Tours starting at 11 AM, Activities during the day include Music by John Kirk& Trish Miller, McGuire Dance Centre, Zucchini Brothers, Jessup’s Landing Music Makers Concert, Bob Marcotte the Wandering Fiddler, and Gateway Live.

There will also be Roger Fulton's 1750’s Presentation, Paper Industry Display, Jim Bruchac Story Teller, Indian Dancers, Barn Crafts, Balloonists, Wagon Rides, Adirondack Artists Art Walk, Many Food Booths including Hot Dogs by First United Methodist Church, Fried Dough, by Corinth Fire Department Ladies Aux., Free Popcorn and snow cones from Gateway Church, and a BBQ, by Bill Lynch.

The day will finish with a Flotilla down the Hudson to the Beach Area, where closing remarks and a salute to our military will be held.

Please bring your Lawn Chairs and have a fun filled day with Corinth. In the event of a hard rain storm all the musical and show type events will be at the Corinth High School Gym.
