Big Ideas for a Hudson Valley Family Staycation

Looking to keep the family entertained this summer while staying on a tight budget. You need to thinking about a Hudson Valley Family Staycation.

No need to pack the car and Travel to far. If you have a camper think about tone of the many camping resorts as a place to go on the weekend many places offer a season al rate and you stay parked for the summer. If you were hoping for something other than camping I have found that too.

Summer Family Staycation Ideas for the Hudson Valley

FairOaks Drive-In Theatre for Family Movie Night

Hit the drive-in with the kids. FairOaks Drive-In is open for the season and this summer the plan will be to add a lot of classic movies to its line-up.  Mark your calendars for the Junkfood Cinema Drive-In Film Fest on July 19th and 20th.

Orange County Fair Speedway for Specialty Racing Nights and Events

Not looking to a movie drive-in there is always the drive-in at the Orange County Fair Speedway. They may not be racing weekly but they will have a full schedule of events planned at the track this summer that is fun for the whole family, everything from The Big Series racing to Burnout Nationals.

Can't Miss County Fairs for Summer 2024

Make this the year you skip the fancy theme park and keep it local instead. The Hudson Valley and Catskills are home to some of the best county fairs and you could plan to be at five of them this summer. Orange County Fair in Middletown, New York will get things kicked off with that fair opening on July 18th.

Fair to follow would be the Delaware County Fair, The Ulster County Fair, then Dutchess County, and the final one would be the Columbia County Fair running August 28th through Septemeber 2, 2024.
