Spring in the Hudson Valley has truly sprung. We can now enjoy the warmer and sunnier days along with being greeted by bright, blossomed flowers.

We may even hear the birds chirping, the chorus of owls and treefrogs and notice more wildlife. The rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks have also made their return.

As we have also risen from hibernation after a winter in the Hudson Valley, so have some of our favorite events, fairs and festivals.

The Hudson Valley provides us with so much to do in numerous counties. History buffs can visit historical sites or hidden gems while nature lovers are able to take in the beauty of different hikes.

What if there was a town in the Hudson Valley that combined all of that along with a history tour of some of Hollywood's biggest stars?

According to Ulster County Tourism,

Woodstock, NY was known as a 

"a sleepy village and artist colony with no paved sidewalks but plenty of music, food and tolerance for all kinds of eccentric behavior."

Present day Woodstock still maintains those good vibes. Visitors, local residents, musicians and celebrities head to this relaxed town that embraces not only peace but also the beauty of the mountains nearby.

I love visiting local shops in Woodstock that have jewelry, incense and art. I also came across a drum circle the last time that I was in Woodstock and enjoyed one of the grooviest days.
