Posted

BETHEL, NY — The Museum at Bethel Woods will host a free day of family fun on Saturday, June 2, a decade to the day since the award-winning museum opened its doors. The event kicks off at 11 a.m. and concludes at 4 p.m. Festivities will include guided museum tours, interpretive walks on the Woodstock festival historic site, a variety of activities and games, collaborative art projects and live music by Little Sparrow, Clear Horizons and John Reddan. The Museum will offer free admission for Sullivan Country residents and discounted for all others.

On that day, the new outdoor art installation “Doors to Originality,” inspired by the 2018 Special Exhibit, “Peter Max: Early Paintings” will open, featuring works by 12 regional artists who have created Peter Max-inspired designs on vintage wooden doors that have been placed throughout the Bethel Woods campus. There will be a tour through the installation, after which the community is invited to create their own original artwork in the Artist Hub, located in the Market Shed.

Other events that day will include a presentation and book signing at 12:15 p.m. for ’69 Woodstock festival photographer Elliott Landy and a Summer Solstice Silent Disco in collaboration with Angry Orchard. The 21-plus dance is for pay and starts at 7 p.m.; party-goers will use wireless headphones to dance to their favorite music, switching among three different types of music while enjoying Angry Orchard Cider, snacking on light fare from Benji & Jake’s and Organic Fairy Floss.
