Our 2003 street festival will once again offer period music and entertainmnet, reenactors, traditional crafts, children's activities and more! Several new 18th century attractions are expected to delight visitors this year, including coopers (who make buckets and barrels); a willow weaver; a "whitesmith" (or "bladesmith"); a magician with his two "sidekicks," Harry Ames and Mr. Bailey, and a slackrope walker, "Signora Bella," whose feats of balance and juggling hold audiences in awe. George Washington himself was entertained by slackrope walking. African-American themes, such as Carolyn Evans' dramatization of Harriet Tubman's life in slavery and the underground railroad, portray the diverse culture of historic Huguenot Street. The time of the event will be 10:00 - 5:00. Call 845-255-1660 for more information.
