“The Brewster Fall Festival is the perfect event for people new and not-so-new to the area to find out about all the amazing things our community has to offer,” states director, Margaret Carey, “We are very fortunate to have a dedicated team of volunteers to help showcase the best of our community while helping raise funds for the restoration of the Old Town Hall Theater at 67 Main Street in Brewster.”
 
The Brewster Fall Festival Committee wishes to thank their sponsors including MVP Health Care, EA Test Prep, Confident Homes, Inc., Brewster HamletHub, Master IT Media LLC, Lisi's Towing, OLA Consulting Engineers, Suburban Carting Co., Open Door Family Medical Center, and Putnam County Savings Bank.
 
“The Cultural Arts Coalition has plans to bring even more entertainment, education, and art to our community,” explains Judy Marano, Cultural Arts Coalition President. “Events like the Brewster Fall Festival showcase our community and demonstrate the value of having a cultural hub in the heart of Brewster Village.”
 
The Cultural Arts Coalition, in cooperation with the Town of Southeast, is spearheading the restoration and the reopening of the Old Town Hall Theater. Senator Pete Harckham, 40th Senate District, recently announced that he has secured a State Aid to Municipalities grant of $200,000 to help renovate the theater. Once restored, the theater will accommodate audiences of 200 or more and provide space for music concerts, theater productions, dance performances, film screenings, lectures, and meetings. The total cost of the restoration is estimated at over $3 million.
 
The Brewster Fall Festival will be held on Sunday, September 8, 2018 from 12 noon – 5pm. Free parking is available Tristate Commuter Lot is on Park Street and Morningthorpe Ave. Trolley service courtesy of Putnam County will be available to bring festival goers between this parking lot and Main Street throughout the day.

Last Year’s Event drew over 4,000 people to the heart of Brewster
 
After the outstanding success of last year’s Brewster Fall Festival, the Cultural Arts Coalition is busy planning this year’s event to be held on Sunday, September 8, 2019 on Main Street in Brewster. Registration for booths at the event is live at www.BrewsterFallFestival.com.
 
Vendors, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to participate by purchasing a booth space. The Village of Brewster will close Main Street and booths will line both sides of street. This event is a fundraiser to support the restoration of Old Town Hall Theater located at 67 Main Street in Brewster.
 
“We anticipate selling out booths early,” states co-chair Margaret Carey, “We received such an amazing outpour of support and positive feedback from vendors and the community. We expect an even bigger crowd this year. However, we only have so much space that we can use on Main Street and we strongly suggest vendors apply as soon as possible.”
 
“What Judy Marano and Margaret Carey were able to accomplish in a few months was nothing short of amazing and everyone is very interested to see what can be done with a whole year of preparation,” stated Village of Brewster Mayor Jim Schoenig, “This unstoppable duo was able to put on a great event for the community. Myself, as well as the Village Board, are extremely excited for the Fall Festival in 2019.”
 
“We could not accomplish this event without the help of community volunteers,” explains co-chair, Judy Marano, “People like Frank Funigiello of Confident Home, Peter Carey, MaryCay Nilsen, Charlotte Greene, Katy Faivre and Rebecca Rabinowitz played an integral part in the success of the event along with a handful of dedicated volunteers. Not to mention the Village of Brewster and Putnam County services.” Those interested in volunteering for this event are encouraged to reach out to Judy at info@culturalartsco.com.

This annual event will be held on September 9, 2018 on Main Street in Brewster. Registration for booths at the event is live at www.BrewsterFallFestival.com.

“The event will focus on our community and the wonderful organizations, businesses and people who serve them,” states co-chair Judy Marano, “The Brewster Fall Festival is designed to bring our community together for a day of fun, education and colaboration.”

Discounts are available for those in Brewster, Patterson, Southeast and Putnam Lake, 2018 Brewster Chamber Members and not-for-profit organizations. 

At a recent interest meeting held at the Studio Around the Corner, community members were invited to share their ideas and experiences to enhance the event. Those in attendance not only offered great ways to engage the community but also volunteer their time to join the committee and assist with the plans and at the day of the event.
