Since opening in October, 2009, Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park has become a major focal point for all kinds of events. From intimate wedding ceremonies to fundraisers involving thousands of people, Walkway Over the Hudson provides a unique venue for celebrations, marches, recreational gatherings, and other high visibility public events. Because it primarily serves as a popular state park that is open to the public year-round and seven days a week, however, events must be planned carefully and coordinated with the park’s key stakeholders—namely, NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the nonprofit organization, Walkway Over the Hudson. Basically there are two types of organized events permitted on the Walkway:

1)     Walkway Events—Offered by the nonprofit group, Walkway Over the Hudson, usually for public enjoyment and to help raise funds that go toward supporting the Park. See Walkway Events Calendar on the right.

2)     Community Events—Produced by groups or individuals for a variety of purposes, these events must receive official approval from the NYS Parks Office. To apply for a permit to hold an event at Walkway State Park please see Book an Event on the right. The Community Events Calendar can be also found on the right.
