There is a huge outdoor celebration happening across New York State that you are invited to on June 14th!

There are few things better than the summer in New York State. From Niagara Falls, to New York City, we are blessed to have some amazing things to see and do, especially outside!

But there is one day that has been set aside to get as many people outdoors as possible to come together to celebrate the wonder of The Empire State.

Big FREE Celebration In New York

In a recent news post on their website, the New York State DEC announced a special invitation in conjunction with the New York State Parks. Many FREE, family friendly events are planned for June 14th! "Get Outdoors & Get Together Day brings together people of all abilities, ages, identities, and backgrounds for fun, healthful activities as part of the Governor's initiative to broaden the diversity of users and ensure inclusivity of access to state public lands".

We are so lucky to have the vast natural resources that are available here in New York. Whether it is camping in the Adirondack Mountains, or hiking in the Niagara Gorge, there are some gems to explore!
