Events

All are invited to bring their own instruments for our long-standing Clearwater tradition of collaborative music-making in a Circle of Song. Children’s activities including face painting and hair wrapping will be available as well. La Talaye will be serving rice bowls, empanadas, salads, water, and lemonade, and Penny Lick Ice Cream will be scooping all afternoon. We also suggest bringing a blanket or folding chairs, a full reusable water bottle, a hat, sunscreen, and dressing for the weather in layers. Be one of the first 40 people to join Clearwater as a member or renew your membership at Folk Picnic and receive a limited edition stainless steel Clearwater water bottle as a membership gift! Parking is extremely limited, so we suggest walking or biking if you’re local. The Beacon Bike Coalition will be providing a free Bike Valet. If you are coming from out of town, we suggest taking the MetroNorth, Amtrak, or, if traveling by car, parking at the Beacon Metro North Station and taking the Beacon Free Loop Bus (G Bus) to Wolcott Avenue and Howland Avenue and walking 0.5miles to the USC Theater. There are also several cab companies in Beacon with City of Beacon medallions. A note on weather: Clearwater’s Folk Picnic is rain or shine! If the weather is challenging, Folk Picnic will take place inside the USC Theater.
