Sheep and Wool Festival "Overflow" Events

Sheep and Wool Festival "Overflow" Events

About Saugerties's Yearly Sheep and Wool Festival Overflow Events

There are 2 "overflow" events from the yearly October New York State Sheep and Wool Festival (held in nearby Rhinebeck, NY), that have been held in Saugerties for the last few years.  The events are timed to happen on the Friday before the weekend of the Sheep & Wool Festival.

It is a natural for these events to have sprung up in Saugerties, because a) there are many knitters and crocheters and people who create handspun fiber, needle crafts, pottery, wool washes, and on and on.  Plus, there is a highly successful yarn shop in Saugerties.  It's called The Perfect Blend Yarn and Tea shop and it's located at 50 Market Street.

CAKEpalooza

The one that's held on North Street (the road across from Price Chopper in Saugerties) is called "CAKEpalooza".

The precise location of CAKEpalooza is 8 North Street.

The information about CAKEpalooza 2023 and CAKEpalooza 2024 was posted at this location: https://cakewool.com/collections/cakepalooza-2023-ticket

As of now, there is no indication of any dates or specific info for the 2025 event, but I'm guessing that it's a good idea to occasionally check at that same URL, closer to the date of the event.

Indie Untangled

The other Saugerties "overflow" Sheep/Wool event is called Indie Untangled.  It's held at HITS showgrounds (Washington Avenue Extension).

Their page is https://indieuntangled.com/rhinebeck/ and it is mostly 2024 info.  But there is a specific 2025 that they've updated on that page ... and it's Friday, October 17th.

In previous years, CAKEpalooza and Indie Untangled have been held on the same day.  So if I were a betting man, I would say CAKEpalozza will be held on Friday, October 17th as well.

Stay tuned for more information, as we approach October.
