Hi all,

🌞 HEAT WAVE ALERT: Stay Safe & Stay Cool 🌞
As summer kicks off, we’re heading straight into a dangerous heat wave this week. Please take care of yourself, your neighbors, and your pets. Here are a few important reminders:

• Stay hydrated and limit time outdoors during peak heat hours.
• Check on vulnerable neighbors, especially seniors and those without air conditioning.
• The Splash Pad at Memorial Park is open daily—a great way for kids of all ages to cool down safely.

That said, the start of summer also means an exciting season of events here in Nyack! You can pick up printed copies of the Nyack Summer Events Guide at Village Hall—or check it out online with over 100 events happening in the Village this summer, this guide is your key to planning ahead.

🎆 Coming Up: Don’t Miss These Big Summer Events

🎇 Independence Day Fireworks
The Village of Nyack’s annual fireworks show is back on Thursday, July 4 at Memorial Park, starting around 9:15 PM (once the sun sets). The fireworks will launch from a barge again this year—meaning you can spread out anywhere in the park with your chairs, blankets, and picnic gear.

🎶 Music on the Hudson – Every Tuesday in July
Presented by the Nyack Parks Conservancy and the Village, this beloved live music series lights up Memorial Park every Tuesday evening in July from 7–9 PM. Here’s the lineup:

• July 1: Dead Meet (Grateful Dead tribute)
• July 8: Leslie’s Tam Jam (all-female genre-bending showcase)
• July 15: Western Skies (harmony-driven folk-rock quartet)
• July 22: Swingtime Big Band, co-presented by ArtsRock.org
• July 29: Wish We Were Floyd (Pink Floyd tribute)

📅 Mark your calendars!

Let’s have a safe, fun, and community-filled summer in Nyack!
Stay cool, stay connected.
