Connecting exceptional local products with sweeping Hudson River views, the inaugural Walkway Market: A Taste NY Experience is set for Saturday, June 13 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Walkway Over the Hudson’s Ulster Welcome Center Plaza in Highland (87 Haviland Road, Highland, NY 12528).

Presented in partnership with Taste NY, Walkway Market brings a vibrant open-air farmers market to one of the region’s most iconic destinations celebrating the best of New York State’s farmers, producers, and artisans.

The event will feature a curated lineup of 30 vendors from across the Empire State, offering a wide array of goods including maple syrup, honey, jerky, pickles, spices, fresh flowers, soaps, pet treats, jewelry, and handcrafted items. In addition to shopping and sampling, attendees can enjoy community activations and family-friendly experiences throughout the day.

Admission to Walkway Market is free and open to the public. Made possible by Friends of the Walkway, free parking for all attendees will be available along Haviland Road to ensure easy access for visitors from across the region.

Set adjacent to the sweeping Hudson River views that define the Walkway experience, the market offers a unique opportunity to support small businesses while enjoying a day outdoors with friends and family.

“Walkway Market is an exciting new way for people to experience our park while directly supporting New York’s incredible community of farmers, makers, and small businesses,” said Lori Robertson, Executive Director, Friends of the Walkway. “Through our partnership with Taste NY, we’re able to showcase the very best of what our state has to offer in a setting that brings people together.”

Walkway Market is part of Friends of the Walkway’s ongoing efforts to activate the park with engaging, community-centered programming that enhances the visitor experience while supporting regional economic vitality. Taste NY is an initiative of New York State dedicated to promoting locally grown and produced food, beverages, and agricultural products while showcasing the quality and diversity of products made across the state.
