Keeping with the animal theme, there’s the annual  Woofstock weekend and doggie events in Chestertown.

So grab your Tie-Dye and go back to 1969 for a weekend of Woof and Peace, Paws & Music. Bring your four legged friend (or adopt one there from North Shore Animal League America) and try Dock Diving with the Hudson Valley Dock Dogs, show off your dog’s catching skills with the Bean Town Disc Dogs or try Doggie Fun Zone 's Agility and Lure Chasing course. Live music, food and vendors all weekend long!
