Festival Village! Clayton,NY June 15-17, 2012

Wow! I’ve been looking into the Clayton Food & Wine Festival that will take place June 16-17. Looks like Clayton will be hoppin that weekend!

Besides the Food & Wine Festival, (a designated Farmer’s Market with dozens of vendors and free samples of everything from wine to cheesecake on a stick) there is also a Sailing Seaway Clayton Festival with a tall ship, “splash events” like a “Dock Dogs” distance jumping competition, live music and other events. The Antique Boat Museum will also host a Family Fun day (with free admission) on the 16th, followed by a Great International Steamboat Flotilla on the 17th.

On the 16th and 17th, Clarence Henry Coach – a sponsor of the Clayton Food and Wine Festival – will provide shuttle service between Frink Park, Cerow Arena & Antique Boat Museum, courtesy of Clayton Chamber and Watertown Savings Bank.

This series of events looks like an amazing opportunity for families to see some great sights, taste some locally-made food and beverages and check out one of the gems of NNY tourism, the Antique Boat Museum – for FREE.

Last year’s “Dock Dogs” competition:
