Clearwater Announces Final Line-up and Stage Schedules for the 2010 Great Hudson River Revival.

BEACON, NY: Clearwater has finalized the line-up for the 2010 Great Hudson River Revival, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 19 and 20 at Croton Point Park in Croton-on Hudson, NY.

Tickets range from $40 (early bird) to $80 (gate) for day passes and $60-$115 for weekend passes. Tickets are available at ClearwaterFestival.org or 845-418-3596

Inspired by Pete Seegers desire to clean up the river over forty years ago, the Great Hudson River Revival initially helped raise the funds to build the sloop Clearwater, which has since become a world-renowned floating classroom and a symbol of effective grassroots action. Today, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, INC is a non-profit organization that sails at the forefront of the nations environmental challenges. The revenue raised by the Revival goes to support Clearwaters numerous educational programs and its work toward environmental and social justice - as well as keeping the sloop Clearwater afloat.
