Honky-Tonk Market Weekend is an incredible vendor market, mini-concert series and country-swing dance party created by Mike Marino at The Hawk’s Nest Vintage. The event brings together vintage vendors, live music, Texas Two-Step lessons and dancing, alongside local and national authentic country bands, and much, much more. And it is hosted in partnership with only the finest food and beverage purveyors the Hudson Valley has to offer.

For the granddaddy of them all, coming up this April 24-26, Mike has partnered with the folks at Return Brewing to host their third collaborative market at Return’s 3500 square-foot, indoor-outdoor warehouse venue.

The Market is authentic, All-American, old school Honky Tonk—there will be twelve vintage vendors selling everything from clothing, household goods, glassware, jewelry, denim, and cowboy boots. The event features genuine tarot reading from one of the finest in the state, as well as a tintype portraits photographer bringing back the antique art of photography—introduced in 1853!

The weekend also always stars an incredible mix of local and national honky-tonk/country musicians. This April at Return the slate features artists from Nashville, Virginia, Pennsylvania, NYC, and our own backyard Chatham, NY.

The beer is all produced in-house by Return Brewing, a new and growing craft brewery based in Hudson and Catskill. They feature a range of high quality, accessible, creative beers with a guiding philosophy: Beers to Return to Again and Again. That is, highly repeatable, tasty beers. For this amazing party Return will be crafting a special beer released on that day and only available for a limited time.

Authentic Mexican food will be provided all weekend by Hierba Buena, with more food trucks.
