WHAT'S THE FESTIVAL'S VENUE?

HUTTON BRICKYARDS

The Festival will take place August 14–16, 2026 at Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, a former 19th-century brickyard transformed into a historic riverfront hotel and event destination spanning 100 bucolic acres all along the Hudson River, just two hours from Manhattan. Panoramic waterfront views, expansive outdoor stages, and a striking natural landscape combine to create an immersive setting for live performance.

WHAT TO DO AT THE FESTIVAL?

THE MUSIC

The Festival will include themed shows with your favorite Broadway talent singing songs you know and love them for, as well as songs you might not expect! There won’t be any full musicals performed (though our Rent 30th Anniversary Concert with original cast members will definitely be a highlight); expect to see great solo shows, themed-shows and tributes to composers you love, some of those composers in the flesh performing with members of our lineup, and each night culminating in a “Big Show” with an ensemble cast singing from the American Songbook and beyond, guaranteed to bring back Broadway memories and send you home humming.

WHERE IS THE FESTIVAL?

KINGSTON

Kingston is where history meets hip. A former state capital turned creative hotbed, it is located just 90 minutes north of NY and offers waterfront charm, vibrant arts, world-class dining, and along the Hudson River at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Once New York’s first capital in 1777, it features historic districts, a thriving arts scene, and scenic waterfront.

THE FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE

In addition to musical performances, the Festival will boast all the elements of a great music festival, including a wide variety of enticing local food and beverage options and a curated marketplace of Hudson Valley artisans, makers and merchants. And we’re crafting experiences that will allow Festival guests to unleash their inner performer, whether at a late-night campfire sing-along (cue the s’mores), our own Club Cumming on the Hudson piano bar experience, Broadway-themed comedy improv with the legendary Don't Quit Your Night Job, or a Broadway Rave dance party. Costume events, a “stage door” signing tent, maybe even a hike or dance class led by one of our talented performers - we’re working on all of it.
