in the Capital Region and a chance to see historic and
unique vessels tied up at the waterfront, plus a farmers’
market on Sunday, July 8 from 9AM to 1PM. If you miss
this great event, don’t worry, there will be more
fun in Waterford with the Dragon Boat festival in
August and the Tugboat Roundup September 7-9.

Even if you miss the festivals, the Waterford

Rivers meet is the home of Upstate Kayak Rentals
(

enjoy a different perspective on the water thank
