Bedford Music Festival

  •  October 15, 2022
     12:00 am – 11:55 pm

Save-the-date for the inaugural Bedford Music Festival on Saturday, October 15, 2022 at John Jay Homestead sponsored by destination 39.3 whose mission is to showcase the beauty, vitality and diversity of our three hamlets and promote greater Bedford as a unique place to live, work, play and explore.

We are proud to announce the headline band, SPIN DOCTORS, who will bring some of the greatest hits of the ’90s to our town. The Spin Doctors will be joined by several other exciting local bands. A Taste of Bedford will be held simultaneously at John Jay Homestead. More details to come, but put it in your calendar for this truly unique and special night in the Town of Bedford.

Visit https://www.destination393.org/ for the latest information.

destination 39.3 was started in early 2022 as a resident-led initiative to help create a greater sense of community engagement for the three hamlets of the Town of Bedford. Its moniker gives recognition to the Town’s square mileage and defines a sense of cohesiveness and integration amongst the hamlets.  This dynamic new organization is united in its effort to celebrate the unique gifts and diverse communities of the Town’s hamlets while strengthening commerce, communication and quality of life in the Town.  Six subcommittees drive much of the work within destination 39.3, including Events, Beautification, Community Engagement, Marketing, Policy and Fundraising.

Herb Fair

  •  October 1, 2022
     9:00 am – 4:00 pm

This 71st Herb Fair, is organized by the N.Y. Unit of the Herb Society of America to educate visitors about herbs.

The primary purpose of the Herb Society is to educate people about herbs, including their many uses and delights. In addition to its annual Herb Fairs, the N.Y. Unit also created the Herb Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Nancy Bryan Luce Herb Garden at N.Y. Botanical Garden, the John Jay Homestead Herb Garden and several other herb gardens in N.Y. Many members of NYU/HSA are published authors and lecturers on horticulture, in addition to being Master Gardeners.

This year’s fair includes an Herb Table, with knowledgeable N.Y. Unit members able to explain characteristics of each cut herb at the table. A Q & A table featuring knowledgeable members answering all herbal questions. The Bake Table, will be laden with all varieties of herb-infused baked goods. Lovage Soup is once again being served at the Fair. The Ways and Means table, contains many garden items and tools; notecards featuring herbal drawings; dishtowels with herbal decorations; and many other useful items. A number of herb-related vendors are invited to participate at the Herb Fair, selling their wares and distributing herbal information. Vendors will provide soaps, teas, jams, spices, vinegars and other sauces, stationery, jewelry, textiles, pottery, all of which incorporate herbs. Children’s art activities will also take place during the Fair to keep children entertained so parents can more easily shop.

A special Garden Tour is scheduled at 10 a.m., featuring Page Dickey, garden author and Honorary Member of the NY Unit and the original designer of the John Jay Herb Garden.

Featured guest speaker, Deborah Needleman, will discuss the art of blending herbs to make teas, and how to use herbs within your home landscape at 2 p.m.

 

For more information about the 71st Herb Fair, contact Nicoletta Salvi, at (917) 622-3272, or email herbsocietyny@gmail.com.
