The Fever Pitch Pilgrimage Song Offering and Potluck
Taína Asili—singer and activist—is embarking on a pilgrimage for climate justice and will pass through Beacon on Saturday Sept. 20th. The Fever Pitch Pilgrimage is a two-week, 150-mile journey walking from Albany to NYC (Sept. 13–27, 2025). Alongside a team of artist collaborators, Taína will be walking for climate justice, collective healing, and a just future, giving daily song offerings in collaboration with local grassroots organizations.
Midway through the journey, they will sail from Newburgh to Haverstraw (9/21) aboard the historic Clearwater. The pilgrimage will then continue on foot into New York City, culminating during New York Climate Week with a final performance at UPROSE Brooklyn (9/26)—the city’s oldest Latino-led, climate justice-focused organization. Following the NYC events, the team will travel by electric car to Rise & Root Farm for the Abundance Festival (9/27), a benefit for the Black Farmer Fund, where they’ll perform and offer a collective gift from the funds raised.
As they make their way through Beacon on 9/20, they will be partnering with Fareground for a song offering. These song offerings are brief yet powerful performances that resist the violence of climate devastation, incarceration, war, fascism, and genocide—while uplifting the movements for immigrant rights, racial, gender, and climate justice, and a livable future for all.
Our Fareground community will offer an abundant potluck to nourish the participants in the Fever Pitch Pilgramage and each other. Please bring a dish to share, along with a list of ingredients and a place setting for each in your party.
PLEASE NOTE: the start time is an estimate because our guests will be traveling by foot.
Thank you to the Beacon Sloop Club for hosting!

Clearwater Folk Picnic
Clearwater's Folk Picnic is a return to our musical roots. In the 1960s when Pete and Toshi Seeger and their co-founders set out to build Clearwater, they organized community folk picnic fundraisers using music as a tool to unite people behind a shared goal of restoring and protecting the Hudson River. Nearly 60 years later, Clearwater is carrying our musical heritage forward with a free, community-centered day of music, celebration, family activities, and Hudson River advocacy.
Bring a chair or blanket, a full-reusable water bottle, and if you'd like, an instrument to play. There will also be children's activities including hair wrapping and face painting, and refreshments available for purchase, including hotdogs, cookies, and vegetarian plates made by the Beacon Sloop Club, and ice cream cones from Blue Pig Ice Cream. Please plan to bring cash or checks to purchase food from the Beacon Sloop Club.
All funds raised from the sale of Middle Eastern plates and oatmeal cookies will be donated to Fareground.
