Summer fairs and festivals in Westchester and the Hudson Valley offer a ton of ways to party al fresco this summer. While outdoor fun can reliably be found at area beaches or campgrounds, the region's staged outdoor entertainment options are wide-ranging, including picnic-blanket music festivals and cultural-heritage feasts. There are also longstanding agricultural fairs that offer everything from carnival rides to racing pigs. Below, we’ve gathered more than two dozen summer festivals worth adding to your calendar.

New additions to this year's lineup include a pro-wrestling festival as well as family-friendly celebrations of Pride Month and Juneteenth
