Historic Hudson Valley Extends LIGHTSCAPES

Due to popular demand, Historic Hudson Valley is extending the run of LIGHTSCAPES, its multi-sensory art and light exhibition at Van Cortlandt. The event, originally scheduled to close on May 30, will continue Fridays-Sundays, June 3-5 and 10-12.

Ideal for all ages and created by the The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze® team, LIGHTSCAPES is a walk-through, land-art experience that includes a musical soundscape courtesy of Phish collaborator and songwriter Steve Pollak, AKA "The Dude of Life," and Charles de Saint Phalle.

LIGHTSCAPES takes place rain or shine and admission is by timed ticket only. Remaining dates are May 26-30, June 3-5, and June 10-12.

Online tickets are $20 for adults ($25 Saturdays), $16 for children 3-17 ($20 Saturdays), and free for children under 3 and Historic Hudson Valley members. Tickets are $2 more when purchased on site or over the phone. Van Cortlandt Manor is at 525 South Riverside Ave. in Croton-on-Hudson, NY, just off Route 9. Tickets and info: 914-366-6900, www.hudsonvalley.org.

LIGHTSCAPES is the newest large-scale public event from Historic Hudson Valley, the Tarrytown-based non-profit educational and cultural organization which owns and operates Van Cortlandt Manor and other historic sites, and all proceeds support the organization's education programs. The same team creates the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze, a Halloween themed event which has gained national recognition and drew more than 130,000 visitors last year.
