Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 10/11/2025

October's events have been updated in ALBB's Calendar. There are two ways to get included in our calendar:
  1. Free: Community events that are free for the community or are a fundraiser will be considered for gratis listings. Not all submissions are included. Submit here.
  2. Paid: If you're cooking up a really great event to promote your business, then please consider ALBB's Event Promotion Package. Said Topher Kage of Savage Wonder when they purchased a listing: "The Actors Nightmare listing was amazing!" And then before purchasing their next listing: "Continuing on everything awesome you've done for us..." Hearing this from reader customers is simply amazing, thank you.
  3. Free for Sponsors: Subscribing Sponsors (Restaurants, Shops, Beauty Destinations) of ALBB get their events listed free! See our Things To Do In Beacon Guides in our Media Kit for pricing and details.
Now by popular demand, ALBB is working on a Places To Be Guide, which lists annual events and festivals that vendors want to participate in, but need to contact organizations in advance for tabling and sponsor information. If your business would like to sponsor that page with your logo, please contact us for details. Your target audience would be fellow businesses of all kinds looking to it as a resource.

It Takes A Village To Redefine Mental Health
Date: Thursday, October 23
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Howland Cultural Center, Beacon, NY
We invite you to join us for a free and timely panel discussion hosted by the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley. Together, we’ll explore how communities can come together to reduce stigma, expand access, and build sustainable, wraparound support systems for mental health. In a recent report from the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, mental health was identified as the second-most pressing issue for residents. Your presence and voice in this conversation are critical—because it truly takes a village to redefine mental health.
Panelists:
Heather Ann Lee-Pitcher, NYCPS – The Brain and Body Coalition
Tara McDonald, LMSW, MPA – Ulster County Department of Mental Health
Brandon del Pozo, PhD, MPH – Philipstown Behavioral Health Hub / Brown University
