Clearwater 📍

The Clearwater Festival (officially The Great Hudson River Revival) is a music and environmental summer festival and America’s oldest and largest annual festival of its kind. This unique event has hosted over 15,000 people on a weekend in June for more than three decades. All proceeds benefit Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental organization.

The Festival, a celebration for the Hudson River, features singer-songwriters, performers and musicians offering fun with a purpose — a diverse mix of contemporary, traditional and American Roots music, dance, family-oriented entertainment and storytelling. In addition to music and dance, a juried craft show, Green Living Expo, working riverfront, environmental education sites, and a Circle of Song featuring audience participation fill out the weekend’s schedule.

These boots represent all the men and women who fought for our country from our state, but where killed in the war in Iraq.

In front of the boots are several signs that show what financial cost of the war of Iraq is on a daily basis.
