Uptown’s Stockade District will be transformed into a festive Autumnal block party with curated vendors and entertainment. Spearheaded by Sean B. Nutley, bluecashew and a dedicated group of neighborhood volunteers, this event offers the local Kingston community a chance to celebrate our creative spirits with a little dancing (and shopping) in the streets. “We have many new neighbors in the Hudson Valley, Covid refugees from crowded cities, it’s time to see if they can dance,” says Nutley. Stockade Districts merchants and businesses will showcase their shops with specials and entertainment. Food and drink will be available at our established uptown restaurants and bars. The Stockade Faire seeks to increase awareness of the attractiveness and viability of Uptown Kingston as a great place to live, work, shop, socialize and play.
