All are invited to the Weekend of Wallkill (WOW) family-friendly community event taking place on or near the Wallkill Public Library Lawn. WOW is a celebration to welcome the Fall season starting on Friday night and ending with the Harvest Fair on Saturday.

Friday’s events kick off at 5 pm with the Lego Building Contest and Harvest Storytime at the Wallkill Public Library, followed by a Harvest Egg Hunt on the library lawn, and Restorative Yoga session at the Shawangunk Town Hall. End the night with light refreshments and mingle with new yogis, artists and art gazers of the “Beauty of Wallkill” Art Show and Plein Air Silent Auction in the Town Hall lobby. 

From 10 am to 3 pm, the Wallkill Public Library lawn will be bustling with Saturday’s Harvest Fair where everyone can participate in the various contests including the Best Apple Pie, Floral Centerpiece Design, Wizard Costume for kids of all ages, Dog Costume, Team Trivia and Remote-Control Car Race.

Children can take part in the Wizard Scavenger Hunt, Wizard Academy Show, Science Corner, Wallkill Rocks. Visit the Ulster County Sheriff’s Department, Touch–A–Truck, Petting Zoo and ride a pony.  Watch Ulster County’s Dive Team will perform rescue maneuvers in their mobile dive tank or try the the basics of Pickleball. The entire day will be a shopper’s delight with many of Hudson Valley craft and food vendors present, so be sure to stop at the ATM before heading to the Hamlet of Wallkill. 

 WOW will also be a day to meet and greet community partners including Wallkill Public Library which is hosting a book signing with local author Jose Serpa.
