We tend to cozy up and stay in during the winter months, but there are still plenty of reasons to get out in the Hudson Valley this season. The coming of fall means the return of some of our favorite activities: apple picking, brewery hopping, cider sipping, hiking, and devouring apple cider donuts. But, we would be remiss not to also mention the concerts taking place throughout fall. Without further ado, here are the fall concerts we’re most excited for in the region.
