2 Best Performing Arts Venues in The Catskills, New York

Caber tossing, Irish step dancing, and a march of bagpipers down Hunter Mountain are just some of what you can expect during this celebration of all things Celtic, held in early August.

For four weekends in September and October, Hunter Mountain becomes a stand-in for the Alps when the harvest is celebrated with German and Austrian music, food, and dance. Watch men imitate courting rituals of the wood grouse during traditional dances; after a couple of beers, you may be tempted to try it yourself. You won't feel out of place in your dirndl or lederhosen.
