Garrison Institute 10th Anniversary Community Picnic

Join us in celebration of our 10th anniversary with a community picnic open to all, including delicious food and fun activities for the whole family, on Sunday, July 28 from 4 – 7 pm, rain or shine.

Bring a blanket and enjoy our gorgeous grounds with views of the Hudson River and food available from Fresh Company including slow-cooked pork shoulder, roasted chicken, macaroni & cheese, cornbread, watermelon, lemonade, beer, and more!

Check out tai chi, yoga, zen archery, giant calligraphy, and other activities. Hear stories, kirtan chanting, and performances from local artists. Explore our labyrinth and the grounds surrounding this former monastery.

The event is free to all.

Whether you visit regularly or just haven’t had the chance to see the Garrison Institute yet, this is the perfect time to stop by. We are easily accessible by car (right off of 9D) or train (15-minute walk from the Garrison stop on the Hudson Line).
