There may be as many as 30,000 people visiting the village on Nyack Street Fair Sunday. The good news is that the first 5,000 of them won’t need parking and won’t be here for very long.
Cyclists competing in the Gran Fondo NY 100 mile ride from the GWB to Bear Mountain and back will pass through the village between 7:45 and 845a. The Nyack Street Fair, sponsored by ACADA, Nyack’s Art, Craft & Antiques Dealers Association, kicks off at 10a.
Street Fair Sunday features over 300 vendors on Main Street and Broadway in downtown Nyack.

Art Walk 2018
June 15-17, 2018: SAVE THESE DATEs for the 13th annual Nyack Art Walk.
It’s a three day free event when downtown retail shops are transformed into pop-up art galleries with local artists on hand to discuss their work.
“A Penny For Your Thoughts,” the theme for this year’s event, has been a great source of conversation and proverbs, as well as food for the piggy bank, an old jar, and of course, thought.
Stop by Nyack Art Walk and meet the artists on:
Fri, June 15, 7:30-9p
Sat, June 16, 12n-7p
Sun, June 17, 12n-5p
Up to 25,000 people are attracted to the Nyack street fairs, when Main Street and Broadway are closed to traffic, making it a pedestrian paradise. Stroll throughout the village’s downtown and street fair booths. However not *everyone* is welcome: Dogs are not allowed at Nyack’s Street Fairs. Sorry, Fido.
