Press Release :
WALKWAY AT NIGHT IS BACK!
On Friday, August 21, the Friends of the Walkway nonprofit organization is pleased to once again offer the opportunity to enjoy amazing Hudson Valley views after dark from 212 feet above the Hudson River at our first Walkway at Night of 2020. With the moon hanging high in the sky and the Mid-Hudson Bridge twinkling in the distance, there is truly nothing like a moonlit evening on the World’s Longest Elevated Pedestrian Bridge.
To comply with New York State guidelines, attendance at this event is strictly limited to 50 attendees per gate per timeslot, and we cannot accommodate any walk-ins. Everyone, including children, must reserve a ticket for entry at walkway.org/night and check in at the appropriate gate upon arrival.
As always, Walkway members are welcome to attend at no cost. Non-members can register for $5. Members have been emailed a special discount code to use upon registration providing one complimentary admission to Individual members, and up to five complimentary admissions for Family members.
To become a Walkway member and receive your discount code, visit join.walkway.org. All proceeds and additional donations support the Friends of the Walkway and our mission to host community events like Walkway at Night, add amenities to the park, undertake capital construction projects, support the volunteer Ambassadors, and much more.
We can’t wait to see you on the Walkway!
