After a brief pause in 2015, The Lightbulb Project will be back in 2016. Undoubtedly, this was a favorite event of many. Often the goal was to try and spot all the participating lightbulbs city-wide. This art project, illuminating Newburgh’s potential, is not possible without sponsors. To learn more about The Lightbulb Project sponsorship and to view the 2013 and 2014 lightbulbs please visit the website, or Facebook page.

The picture of the week comes to you from Newburgh Last Saturdays and Lisa Gervais. There was a special performance at the Chapman Steamer Firehouse by the new owners. As you can see, there was sidewalk viewing only. But what a wonderful introduction to Newburgh. I love it how each newcomers brings a special skill with them-something that can be shared by all.

Newburgh Last Saturdays are back for the month of October with a special event happening. An outdoor dance performance, Nite Lite, will hosted by the new owners of the Chapman Steamer Firehouse. They have a long way to go before opening their doors to visitors, but hopefully this will be the only the first of future events to come.
This is a day when businesses stay open later and special events happen to encourage tourism and economic development of downtown Newburgh. For more information, check out the Facebook fanpage and on social media: #NBLS, #NewburghLastSaturdays, #NBNYARTS, #NBNYMUSIC.
