Fort Edward’s “Tuesdays on the Hudson”

The businesses in downtown Fort Edward are building a community and enjoying themselves! Visiting the town for the weekly “Tuesdays on the Hudson”, there is a feeling of a tight-knit yet welcoming community… There were people lining up at the Twisted Taco Truck, sipping beer on the patio of Slickfin Brewing Company, and participating in outdoor Underwood Park CrossFit activities… All of this keeps Broadway bustling throughout the evening hours.  

Fort Edward is in the midst of a resurgence! In years past, the downtown has been littered with vacant storefronts… Now, there is noticeable economic activity throughout the downtown with families, residents, and visitors alike all enjoying the vibrant downtown scene. 

Fort Edward is an historic town on the Hudson River that is now forging an energetic downtown business district… One of the events that is helping to fuel this rejuvenation is the Fort Edward “Tuesdays on the Hudson”. This event has both daytime and evening activities that encourage people to spend time getting to know Fort Edward and all that it has to offer… These summer Tuesday’s began on July 18th, and will run until August 15th. 

The daytime activities include touring Fort Edward by bike! Rental bikes are available from Evergreen Bicycle Works, located at 71 East Street… This is a perfect way to explore the Empire State Trails and other local Fort Edward attractions. “Tuesdays on the Hudson” also encourages visitors to explore Rogers Island – to wander the grounds of the beautiful historic landscape along the Hudson River, and learn about the Native-American Inhabitants and Fort Edward’s important role in the French and Indian War. 

Local cafés, restaurants and eateries offer discounts on throughout the day… There are Happy Hour vendors – including Slickfin Brewing (147 Broadway), featuring $6.00 pints. Dalia’s on the Hudson (13 East Street) offers a “buy one specialty drink, get one for 50% off” deal. The Twisted Taco Truck (parked in front of Slickfin Brewery) offers a free pocket Keychain Flashlight with every order. Stumpy’s Pizzeria (165 Broadway) offers 15% of your order when you mention “Tuesdays on the Hudson”, and there is free Yoga on the Hudson River from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on the lawn of the Yacht Basin!
