Get ready for a Halloween-themed Battle of the Bands! This FREE family-friendly event takes place at River Outpost in Peekskill on Sunday, October 30 from 1-6pm.
There will be live music from five talented regional bands, craft beer and elevated pub fare from River Outpost, food trucks including Wanna Empanada, Bona Bona Ice Cream, the Dog House and Bazodee Global Street Foods, baked goods from Red Door Baking Company, coffee from Matters Coffee, and lots of Halloween-themed crafts and activities for the kids! Be sure to come in costume — we’re having a costume contest with prizes for both kids and adults!
The five bands performing will battle it out for an opening spot at RTMG’s indie rock concert at the Paramount on December 9. The five finalists include Platinum Moon, Pant, Moonunitt, Plane Station and Sophia McGlew.
River Towns Music Group is proud to partner with CHHOP – Caring for the Hungry and Homeless of Peekskill – at the Fall Battle of the Bands. CHHOP operates Fred’s Pantry, which is a local food pantry that serves over 1,300 food-insecure people each week. To support stocking Fred’s Pantry for the holiday season and spread the work about CHHOP’s upcoming Turkey Trot through downtown Peekskill on November 19, CHHOP will have a booth onsite at the event. Here you can donate non-perishable food items for Fred’s Pantry (requested items listed below) and register for the Turkey Trot. Be on the lookout for a special CHHOP mascot making his way through the event as well!
