Your Next Stop on the Metro North: Cold Spring’s Modern Makers Market

Weekends are made for short getaways, and sometimes the best trips are the simple ones. A daily weekend ride on the Metro North Train Line takes you out of the busy city and into the fresh air along the Hudson River. It’s quick, easy, and full of fun stops. One of the best places to enjoy this ride is Cold Spring, a town that blends small-town charm with exciting activities.

Adventures Start on the Train

The ride itself feels like part of the trip. The train runs along the water, giving you wide views of the Hudson as you head north. And once you reach Cold Spring, you don’t need a car. Everything you’ll want to see is within walking distance of the station. It’s a stress-free way to travel, making the whole day feel lighter.

Things to Do in Cold Spring

So, what’s waiting for you once you step off the train? Start with a walk down Main Street. Shops, cafes, and local art spaces line the streets, and each one has something different to enjoy. Cold Spring is known for its unique handmade items, from pottery and jewelry to candles and home goods. Exploring the town feels easy-going, and the friendly vibe makes you want to slow down and take it all in.

A Market You Should Not Miss

But here’s the real highlight. Hops on the Hudson of Cold Spring hosts the Modern Makers Market several times a year, and the next one is happening on September 6 and 7. This event brings together over 60 unique designers, each with items you won’t find in regular stores. It’s a mix of style, creativity, and local talent that adds even more life to the town.

And it’s not only about shopping. The market has live music filling the air, food trucks vendors serving tasty bites, and a friendly, welcoming crowd. It’s also dog friendly, so you can bring your four-legged friend along for the fun. With free admission and free parking, it’s an easy choice for a day out.

Why People Love the Trip

This trip works for so many reasons. The Metro North makes it easy to get there without stress. Cold Spring itself feels warm and welcoming. The Modern Makers Market adds a lively twist with shopping, food, and music all in one place. It’s the kind of outing where you leave feeling relaxed but also full of good memories.

How to Spend Your Day

If you’re planning to go, start early. Catch the train in the morning and let the ride set the mood. Once you arrive, take time to explore the streets and check out the shops. Then head to the market (11AM TO 5PM) to browse the vendors, enjoy some food truck treats, and listen to live music. The whole day flows naturally, with plenty of things to do but no rush to get them all done.

Mark Your Calendar for September
