Experience the Best of the Hudson Valley
This year, HVCU is bringing three unique activations designed to celebrate local businesses, create memorable experiences, and showcase the best of the Hudson Valley.
Build-Your-Own Bouquet Bar
Stop by our indoor booth and create a custom bouquet featuring locally grown flowers in partnership with our business member Hudson Wildflower. Select your favorite blooms and create a beautiful arrangement to take home while learning more about HVCU's commitment to supporting local businesses and strengthening our communities.
Tipsy Ice Cream Experience
Visit our outdoor VIP-area booth and enjoy a complimentary alcohol-infused ice cream experience from Toppings' Tipsy Ice Cream. It's a creative and refreshing way to celebrate the festival while connecting with our team.
