Video: Billy Bob Liggan takes a video tour of the Rosendale Street Festival, 2008.
Party down, Rosendale: The annual Street Festival is in town once again. This Saturday and Sunday, the little town's Main Street will be transformed into an open-air fiesta, with food, local vendors, performers, and of course, music. Over 50 bands, mostly from around the Hudson Valley, will be performing on five stages around town.
If the heat gets too much for you, escape to the cool, dark oasis of the Rosendale Theater, which will be hosting the first annual Hudson Valley Short Flix Festival both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Short films by local filmmakers will play on continuous loop throughout the afternoon -- none over ten minutes in length, and ranging from a mini-documentary about Hudson Valley LGBTQ folks by Alix Dobkin to an animated short set to the old folk tune "Ride Ole Buck To Water."
