Starry Starry Night is the annual event honors contributing sponsors for the creation, maintenance, and improvement of the Walkway Over the Hudson Bridge. Experience the historic night on Friday, October 4, 2019 at the Walkway Ulster Welcome Center Plaza in Highland!

The longest elevated pedestrian bridge in the world, the 1.28-mile Walkway Over the Hudson is nicknamed “The Great Connector,” stretching from the shores of Poughkeepsie to the bluffs of Highland.
