Sunday, Sept. 24: The Hudson River Skywalk on the Rip Van Winkle Bridge will include “bump-outs”: scenic viewing platforms ten feet deep and 50 feet long. The new pedestrian pathway, slated to be completed this November, will allow visitors to walk over the river from one major cultural landmark in the area to another: a direct connection between the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill and the Olana State Historic Site, just south of Hudson.

Friday, Sept. 22: The High Kings are, in melody, instrumentation and subject matter, maybe not reverent, but certainly compliant traditionalists. But in production values, they cleave to the path of Enya: utterly enhanced space somewhere between Heaven and within. Their wildly successful 2008 eponymous debut sounds like the Clancys singing inside a magic cloud.

Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 23-24: More than 70 artists are opening their doors to the public for the 2017 edition. New additions this year include the Kingston Pop Museum, Kingston Ceramics Studio, the woodworking studios and Vernacular Designs and Johnny Poux, Bali Steel Pan and an O+ Mural tour.
