What to Expect

Enjoy live music performed by local artists aboard Solaris: The 100% solar-powered boat built by the Hudson River Maritime Museum!

Join us for an evening of live music with a wide variety of performers on Thursday evenings throughout the summer. The solar-powered electric motor of Solaris is extraordinarily quiet, allowing the music of the Hudson Valley to take center stage on this floating music venue. The intimate environment of Solaris provides the opportunity to chat with local musicians between songs and experience a one-of-a-kind performance of indie rock, sea shanties, folk, soul, and more.

Feel free to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages or small snacks.
