Clearwater is proud to partner with the City of Kingston Parks and Recreation Department and the Hudson River Maritime Museum to host the tenth annual Earth Fair, a free, family event featuring sustainable vendors, live music, juggling, and dance performances. Kids activities including games and face painting will also be available, along with free Solaris boat rides, tours and sails on the Clearwater and local food vendors.
Clearwater will be hosting two sails: a pay-what-you-can Community Sail at 10:30am, and a Public Sail at 5:30pm.
The 2024 Earth Fair will feature a Native American Water Ceremony, live performances by the Center for Creative Education’s Community Drummers and Energy Dance Company, the Mid-Hudson Juggling Association, and the Arm of the Sea Theater. Music performances, curated by Hudson River Sloop Clearwater will include Taina Asili, the B2’s, Guy Davis, Emma’s Revolution, Magpie, Piedmont Bluz Acoustic Duo, Pulso de Barro, The Rix, Sundub, and a Celebration of Peter Seeger.

The City will be collecting electronic waste such as computers and televisions and offering refrigerant collection – free disposal of old refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, or air conditioners. Participants are also encouraged to bring gently used closed or household items for the Earth Day Exchange.
Parking will be limited. A free UCAT shuttle bus will be running between the Cornell Street and Kingston Point Beach parking lots and T.R. Gallo Park all day, and a bike valet will be available at TR Gallo Park.
The Kingston Earth Fair is free and open to all, and is made possible by generous sponsors: Herzog’s Home and Paint Centers/Kingston Plaza, Hot Water Solutions (HWS), Ulster Federal Credit Union, Fruition Chocolate Works, Ulster Savings Bank, Chicory Naturalist, NYS Solar Farm, and Rycor Heating + Cooling.
