Freeman staff Jul 8, 2019 SAUGERTIES, N.Y. — There's no need to fly all the way to the Caribbean to see an authentic carnival. Experience one at the Cantine Veterans Memorial Complex near the Kiwanis Ice Arena on Sunday, Aug 11, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thousands of people came to the inaugural festival last year to enjoy live music, dance and a DJ. There were also more than 60 vendors; games and family fun activities for all ages; arts and craft booths; face painting; and a costume contest with a $250 grand prize. Bring the whole family to revel in the festive fun and culture and learn about these beautiful islands. The free event, a benefit for the Center 4 Creative Education, is sponsored by Seasoned Delicious Foods of Saugerties and Kingston's Harambee .
