Come join one of our funky, fun Culinary Crawls along Beacon's gloriously meandering Main Street.  As the vibe morphs at every turn, we'll show you the quirky, the unusual, the hidden delights of this unique renaissance Hudson River burg.

​You'll taste local specialties and unique treats that our chefs and food and drink artisans make with local bounty. You'll get a taste of Beacon's vibrant art scene too, along with plenty of history and lore on this amazing Hudson Valley city!

Come up for the day, come up and stay a while, or move in and join the ranks of supercool Beaconites! Meanwhile, we think that our Beacon Culinary Crawl is a great way to get to know how this town ticks.

Watermelon Mango Ginger Popsicle at Zora Dora's.
When: Tours run on Saturdays June through October, 1-2 times per month, more often on request. They start at 2 pm and will end two to three hours later. Private tours are also available on other days of the week.
Where: The tours start at at the pop-up park on Main St. (the cross street is Cross St.), where you can't miss Rick Price's glorious mural. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
Driving? There is a nearby parking lot on Cross St. and another where Main intersects with South Elm--at the DMV. (On-street parking on Main St. is free but limited to two hours, so won't work for our 2.5 hour tour.) Further east there is a large parking lot behind the building that houses the Yankee Clipper/More Good/Towne Crier, and there are several other municipal lots off Main St. as well. Click here for more free parking information from our friends at A Little Beacon Blog.

Public transportation? Beacon Train Station/Metro North schedules are here.  A taxi ride into town (this site lists taxi companies, plus there are usually some waiting at the station) is a short ride and worth it, as it's a steep hike.  There is also a bus that goes from the train station into town.
How long: 2-3 hours, over 1.25 miles of mostly flat terrain with a hilly segment.
Who: All ages are welcome but keep in mind there is a fair amount of walking so the tour may not be appropriate for all.
How much: $55 + 6% processing fee for ages 12 and up, $28 + 6% processing fee for ages 5-12, under 5 free. All tastings are included. Although there are a few beverage samplings and water is included, any additional beverages you require are extra.
Capacity: Only 12 people per tour, not including under 5’s.
Weather: Tours run rain or shine except for severe weather. See our cancellation policies here.
