Millerton ‘Summer Stroll’ set for July 13

MILLERTON — On Saturday, July 13, Millerton’s annual Summer Stroll will take place on and around Main Street.

Vendors and stores will offer refreshments, snacks, face painting, live music in Veterans Park across from the Moviehouse, and much more.

In 2023, the Millerton Business Alliance (MBA) hosted the first Summer Stroll, which attracted hundreds of people to the village. After that, the MBA agreed to make this an annual event. The MBA is sponsoring the event with the help of the Village of Millerton, so this year’s stroll should be just as exciting.

According to Dana Scarborough, the Co-Chair of MBA, over 20 Main Street businesses will participate in the stroll. NBT will have a tent with refreshments and possible giveaways, NorthEast-Millerton Library will be attending, and Webutuck High School will have a fundraiser with face painting.

The Summer Stroll is from 2 to 5 p.m. followed by a free concert at the Eddie Collins Memorial Park scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
