Sleepy Hollow Mermaid Festival

The Sleepy Hollow Mermaid Festival is a community celebration that encourages Hudson River access and education. The Festival’s mission is to connect residents with the river today so we can all be part of its future. Our goal is to inspire river stewardship through history, art, safety education, story-telling, and fun, while also opening Kingsland Point Park’s historic beach for the community to explore. Let’s celebrate the magic and myth-making along the banks of Sleepy Hollow together!
