'Discover the Rivertowns' This Weekend

Tour the Old Croton Aqueduct, listen to live music outdoors or shop a local farmers' market.

This weekend, June 7 through 9, is jam-packed with local happenings in the Rivertowns.

The villages of Dobbs Ferry, Hastings and Irvington, along with the Rivertowns Tourism Board, are bringing back "Discover the Rivertowns."

There will be a variety of cultural, arts, food and other events taking place beginning Friday evening with Hastings Friday Night Live "Spring Thing" from 6 to 9 p.m. on Warburton Avenue.
