Welcome To Beacon, NY

Fur traders Francis Rombout and Guilian Verplanck purchased the land between the forested Fishkill Mountains and the Hudson River in 1683. The location was later named for the beacon fires lit on the mountains to warn the community of approaching British troops.

The community today is filled with history along with small town charm. The landscape provides an abundance of outdoor activities while in town, visitors find art galleries, boutique shops, museums and Victorian architecture. Popular local destinations include the Bogardus-DeWindt House, the Madam Brett Homestead and Fishkill Ridge.

Things To Do

In April, all celebrate the arrival of spring during the annual Easter in Memorial Park festivities. Little ones up to 12 years of age are welcome to enter the egg hunts. The Easter Bunny visits and youngsters enjoy the petting zoo. The event also features basket and bike raffles along with the presentation of the Mayor's Egg.

During the second week in July, all are invited to participate in the annual Beacon Community Free Day. Activities include gallery talks, family-friendly interactive workshops, special exhibits and live entertainment.

At the end of July, foodies enjoy the Firefly Festival. The Memorial Park event is a celebration of art, food and music. Local chefs and food vendors offer a variety of meals and treats. Local breweries are on hand to provide many different types of beer for the sampling.

For three days in the middle of September, movie fans have the chance to attend the three-day Beacon Independent Film Festival. The festivities take place at the Beacon University Settlement Camp at the foot of Beacon Mountain. Guests have the chance to watch a variety of full-length and short films along with documentaries, animations and videos. There are also panel discussions, workshops and interactive activities. Food vendors provide the refreshments.

In mid-October, automotive fans turn out for the Annual Classic Car Show In Beacon. The family-based event welcomes all to stroll along Main Street while admiring the array of classic cars. Dozens of vehicles line the streets and fill the parking lots with engines and interiors open for viewing.
