Our annual Eco Fair is scheduled for September 21, 2024 (rain date Sept 28) at Patriots Park from 10am to 1pm, in collaboration with the TaSH Farmers Market.The Eco Fair brings together community sustainability organizations and local businesses to educate and share ideas to enrich our Villages and enhance the environment. It is an opportunity for community members to increase awareness and engage on environmental issues. The goal is to highlight things that we can all do at home and in our own neighborhoods.

Something for the whole family including kids activities, games, amazing live music, and fresh local food vendors at the TaSH farmers market!  Key topics will include zero waste, solar power, food scraps recycling, local sustainability initiatives, home energy savings, sustainable DIY projects, healthy lawns, native plants, the Hudson River, local waterways, and more.   

Also calling all organizations and companies that would like to be a part of the Eco Fair. Please reach out to tarrytownenviro@gmail.com for more information.

Visitors to our Hudson area: When boating and kayaking, stay clear of large vessels such as this nearly 700 ft Gypsum Ore freighter, (Genco Vigilant) shipping from Garrucha Spain and presently unloading in Buchannan NY.


These vessels can take a mile to stop coming on the tidal current. The Hudson is a corridor for many freighters, tugs and barges delivering to the ports of Yonkers, Newburgh, Albany and Coeymans. They can travel at almost 20 knots when empty (2000 ft every minute).
