Starting August 1, 2018

Stop by Main Street in Blairstown and shop a dozen local vendors while listening to some Americana, Jazz and Blues music from Deb D'Anne and Friends.

The YPW 2018 Summer Festival of Shows, which features young performers between the ages of 8 and 18 staging five different shows over 10 days, kicks off with Willy Russell's Blood Brothers, which tells the story of fraternal twins separated at birth. One brother is raised in a family of great privilege, the other in poverty. Even with their different socioeconomic backgrounds, the two boys end up becoming best friends -- until a misunderstanding leads to a tragic end.

Rolling hills, farmland vistas, the Appalachian Ridge, Paulinskill Valley Rail Trail, and a town of proud heritage all come together in one tremendous cycling event. Locals have always known that Blairstown, NJ, boasts some of the best cycling on the East Coast. Now they’re ready to share it with YOU. Check-in 6:30-9am; choose from three spectacular rides with 25-, 40- and 62-mile options. Rest stops along the way, with free water and snacks. Lunch after the ride is included in your registration fee.

Next up in the YPW 2018 Summer Festival of Shows, A Year with Frog and Toad, based on Arnold Lobel's beloved children's books, is a whimsical musical that tells the story of two best friends: the cheerful Frog, and curmudgeonly Toad. The musical follows Frog and Toad through four colorful seasons, from hibernation to hibernation.

Come to Orchard View Lavender Farm for a fun night of delicious food, great music from Jay LaBoy, and a spectacular sunset. Click for the full menu prepared by Chef Ed Oliveira of The Angry Chouriço BBQ - including several lavernder-infused dishes - and to reserve.

The YPW 2018 Summer Festival of Shows continues The Drowsy Chaperone, a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. When a die hard theatre fan plays his favorite cast album, the characters come to life in this hilarious musical farce.

Older campers (8-12) will use hands-on learning to foster creativity, problem-solving, life skills, resourcefulness, patience and curiosity.  Using core STEM principles, you will work together to solve real world problems, including building sensors to help us monitor the mighty Musky's health.

The YPW 2018 Summer Festival of Shows continues with this touching story about Joe Keller, a successful businessman living comfortably with his wife and son. They have only one sadness in their lives - the loss of their other son, Larry, who went missing in World War II. After three years, Kate still clings to the hope that her son is alive.
