The Hudson River Music Festival will return to Croton Point Park on Father’s Day, June 21, with an expanded lineup and a continued focus on music, community, and environmental awareness.
Presented by the Harper House Music Foundation, Riverfest FPS (For Pete’s Sake) and Dayglo Presents, the all-ages festival draws on the legacy of folk music traditions tied to Toshi and Pete Seeger while highlighting modern artists across genres.
The 2026 lineup includes folk musician and four-time Grammy nominee Jesse Welles, who will perform socially conscious songs, as well as guitarist Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers Band. Haynes will appear in a trio alongside Grahame Lesh, son of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, and guitarist Daniel Donato.
Other performers include Grammy-nominated country artist Margo Price, Cuban artist Cimafunk, and country-influenced artist Chaparelle. A newly introduced Rainbow Stage will feature additional programming, including composer and multi-instrumentalist David Amram, singer-songwriter Leah Song, and the Guthrie Family Singers.
Organizers said the festival is designed to celebrate both musical heritage and community while promoting sustainability, including a commitment to a zero-waste future. Attendees will be encouraged to reduce their environmental impact throughout the day.
The event will also include expanded family programming on a North Star Stage, with activities such as live performances, yoga sessions, and interactive arts and crafts. Additional roaming performances and creative experiences are planned across the festival grounds.
Festival organizers said accessibility remains a priority, with ADA parking, accessible shuttles, viewing areas, and ASL interpretation available for performances.
The event will also feature a larger food court with regional vendors and a wider variety of options, as well as enhanced VIP offerings that include dedicated entry, premium seating, and additional amenities.
Tickets will go on sale March 27, with early access beginning March 26. Children 12 and under will be admitted free with a ticketed adult. Click here for more information.
