Each October, we mark the anniversary of the grand opening of Walkway Over the Hudson by celebrating the millions of special moments, lasting connections, and shared experiences made high atop the Hudson River since 2009.
On Friday, October 3 from 6-10 p.m., join us for Starry Starry Night - a perfect autumn evening beneath the stars at Upper Landing Park in Poughkeepsie. Honorary chairs Kip Bleakley O'Neill, Elizabeth Waldstein and Sarah Johnstone Levine, along with event chairs Ed Bergstraesser and Shirley Rinaldi, invite you to enjoy an open-air culinary celebration featuring chef-crafted dishes from Main Course Catering expertly paired with regional wines, brews, and spirits. Live music, art, and surprise performances will create a dazzling, festival-like atmosphere as we gather in support of one of the Hudson Valley's most iconic destinations.

This year, we are proud to honor Rutberg Breslow Personal Injury Law and the Struzzieri Family for their extraordinary contributions to the Walkway and our community. Their leadership and generosity have helped shape the Walkway's success and continue to inspire our shared vision for the future.
As twilight falls, guests will ascend the Walkway's glass elevator for exclusive after-hours access to the bridge and spectacular views high above the Hudson River. A brilliant fireworks display will cap off the evening in unforgettable fashion.
This is more than a celebration, it's an evening to honor our community champions, uplift the mission of Friends of the Walkway, and invest in the future of one of the Hudson Valley's most cherished landmarks.
