Things to do in June in Sullivan County

Callicoon tractor paradeStep-by-Step Guide of things to do the first two weeks June in Sullivan County

Although summer does not start until the third week in June, the unofficial start of summer here in Sullivan County is Memorial Day, (although the weather hasn't really cooperated so far.) However I think warmer weather lies ahead, and June is when things really start happening in the Sullivan County Catskills.

So look no further than my comprehensive list of things to do in Sullivan County in June below of events and activities taking place in our region during the first two weeks June 2015. I have included my favorites, however a full calendar of events can be found here. I will follow up this post with things to do the last two weeks in June.


Here is a breakdown of what my list will cover:

a) All activities are in Sullivan County, NY.

b) Most are kid friendly, but for a few, it may be best find a babysitter for the evening.

c) They are a mix of indoor and outdoor, so even if the weather does not cooperate, you can still have some fun.

d) All are pretty inexpensive. You do not need to break the bank to have some fun in any of our towns.

e) I have also added a few nice spots to eat.

f) Farmers markets are every weekend throughout the summer in Callicoon, Jeffersonville, Livingston Manor, Rock Hill and Barryville. More information here.

June 4th

1)  Exhibit at Delaware Valley Arts Alliance. Riverfest: 25 Years. Billed as a "retrospective exhibit of approximately 50 posters from 25 years of Riverfest. Riverfest is a weekend event in Narrowsburg, it is best described as a cross between a street and country fair–an art and environmental festival featuring artists & artisans, stuff to do for the kids, live poster auction, live music and great food. This year's event takes place on July 26th, but the exhibit runs all through June. The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance is located on Main Street in Narrowsburg, and is a must stop if you are in the area.

Livingston Manor Arnold House2) Also on June 4th is Comedy Night at the Arnold House with headliner Joe Larson, and two other opening acts. For twenty bucks you can't go wrong. The Arnold House is another spot that you should absolutely check out if you are in the area.

June 5th

Farming with the kids at Apple Pond Farms 10-5 PM. This is a recurring event every Friday and Saturday until October. Kids do real farm chores, including milking goats, feeding chickens, collecting eggs, grooming horses, and harvesting from the garden. Other activities may include sheep shearing and information on renewable energy and how it relates to farming.

Youth Center Easter Egg Hunt

I had a rare Saturday off this past weekend, so I got to go with my kids to the annual Easter egg hunt at the Delaware Valley Youth Center in Callicoon. It was a lot of fun. The mad dash for eggs from a hundred plus youngsters all over the field was a sight to see.

Youth Center Easter Egg Hunt

They put the kids in different age groups so the younger ones have a chance to get some eggs.  The whole thing was pretty well organized. Once again I was impressed with the Youth Center. There was also a meet and greet with a photo op from with the Easter Bunny.  My kids were a bit too suspicious of a  big furry bunny to get too close, but they loved running around collecting eggs. My daughter even made the paper.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, The Delaware Youth Center is over the bridge past Pecks Market on Main Street in Callicoon. They have a play area with slides and swings for the younger kids. They have a skate park, tennis and basketball courts, a softball field with bleachers, and a nice sized swimming pool.  They also have a jogging path/exercise circuit with workout equipment.

Programs include a soccer and t-ball league, a Zumba class, and various other fundraising activities, including a Halloween dance, and a summer 5K run along the Delaware River.

The center is kept going by memberships and donations. By joining you get use of all the facilities. Individual memberships are $45.00 and family memberships are $100.00. The center also gratefully accepts donations of any size. All members of the board of directors are 100% volunteer, and spend quite a bit of time and effort to help make this a great place for all kids–whether they are year round or summer residents.

Click here for the Delaware Youth Center website.  

For seasonal residents it is a nice place to visit a handful of times throughout the summer, and spend an hour or so pushing the kids on the swing, or watching them run around on the slides and jungle gym, before heading off for an ice cream cone.  The center is happy to accommodate these types of visitors. However like I said, they gratefully accept any and all donations, large and small, so even if you are the casually user who visits infrequently, consider donating a few bucks to the center. It goes to a really good cause, and it is COMPLETLEY tax deductable.

Sullivan County Real Estate

I can’t recommend John enough. Selling my home couldn’t have been easier. In a market that was challenging, John found a buyer. I had my home with another broker for over a year!

Janet Yardley

I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. Someone who knew the market inside and out and was not only able to find a great new home at the best possible price, but also was able to market and sell my old home over and above the market value – and in record

Crystal Robinson

My wife and I worked with John to purchase our first country home and really can’t say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of 3 years). He answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with John made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend him.

Consantine Lambris

John is very knowledgeable, dedicated and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Melissa Kubenik

We recently purchase a vacation home in upstate NY through John. During the duration of looking for homes and then finally closing, John was amazing. We were not from the area so John was on top of pointing us in the right direction. I firmly believe that without John we would have never found the property that we purchased. I would highly recommend John to anyone! In the next few weeks I will be working with John to sell another property that we own. From the moment you meet John you will see that he is professional, caring, and is on top of his work. I never had to wait more then a few minutes for a return phone call, email, or text message. It was nice working with John who cared more about us and that we were happy, then just making a quick sale.

Kevin Woods

It was a pleasure dealing with John Ducey. We had a home on the market for almost 2 years without any verifiable offers and that became depressing considering we were pulling two mortgages. Met with John who ran some options for us and worked diligently to resolve any issue that would show up. This was greatly appreciated as his work did ease the stress on my health issues. John is easy to talk to and most important, he quickly returns calls and messages.

Both myself and my other half highly recommend Johns real-estate knowledge to anyone.

Bill Nery

John just listed and sold my house in Callicoon. He was patient and very professional through the whole process. Highly recommended for anyone looking to sell.
