A fun, informative, interactive series of events, Walkway Connections brings the Hudson Valley, its history, and its most interesting stories directly to you. Led by local experts, these free events hosted by Friends of the Walkway are open to all. No RSVP required.
Our evening events (typically hosted prior to Walkway At Night) are geared towards children and family togetherness and feature hands-on activities, while our Sunday afternoon events are more educational. See you on the Walkway at Walkway Connections!
