Pool Passes Available for Beacon Public Pool for 2016! Registration Open for Family and Adults!

Pool passes for adults, kids and families are available for Beacon, NY 2016!

The Beacon Pool is coming back this year in June and it is time to register for your passes! Don't delay because last year the season passes sold out quickly! Pool season passes are $75 for adults, $50 for children/seniors, and $150 for the family, with day passes available for $4 for adults and $3 for children and seniors. The registration form is here for download, but you can also register directly through their website right here without sending in a form. According to Mark Price, Recreation Director for the City of Beacon, anyone who lives in the state of New York can get a pool pass, since the pool is on state-owned land. If your billing address is in New York, then you do not need to provide proof of residency.

TIP 1:

If you do register online, here's a hint to make it easier: There is a little tiny box in which you're going to need to type in the name of each person you are registering for, and include their gender and date of birth. Type this up in Word or your favorite Text Edit program and copy/paste it into the text field. #easypeasy

TIP 2:

The checkout is through PayPal. You'll see a login screen for PayPal, but don't worry, you don't need a PayPal account to do this. You can click the link below that, which says: "Pay online with a bank account or credit card." Just before you check out, it will ask you if you want to create a PayPal account. Just hit the "No Thanks" button, and you're clickity-split that much closer to summer fun.

The Beacon Pool is located at the Park at University Settlement Camp, 724 Wolcott Avenue. The pool itself is 140 feet by 50 feet and progresses in depth from 2 feet to 8 feet deep, making it perfect for swimmers and water lovers of all ages. There will not be a lap lane, just a "have fun pool." See ourwrite-up of it last year

when the pool received funding to open for the first time. During that first year, they were hopeful for the successful sales of season and day passes to help keep the pool open, and it looks like that dream came true. They even created a The Beacon Pool group on Facebook that is helpful for posting lost and found items, pool closures due to weather, and over capacity moments when you need to wait in line to enter the pool area. In your pool plans, don't forget about the River Pool  at Riverfront Park which is a historic concept of a floating pool in the Hudson River practiced in the early 1900's and was brought back up here to the Hudson Valley by volunteers. The River Pool is made possible by a board of volunteers and donations, and is free for all to dip into at any time.

UPDATE: Lifeguards wanted!  Applications are available online at cityofbeacon.org

Latest Updates This Week In The Things To Do In Beacon Guides


This week we are coming to you a day early because we have so much happening in Beacon TODAY that we don’t want you miss it! Not only is it Second Saturday, but today is also the Inaugural Parade of Green on Main Street.


This Weekend...


This is the first year Beacon will celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a Parade of Green! We cannot wait to celebrate this new annual tradition.  You remember the pub crawl in Beacon right? How can you not? It may have prompted Mayor Casale to issue a stern reminder during the March 7th City Council Meeting that all Quality of Life Laws will be strictly enforced on the day. #nowhearthis

This year, local businesses and volunteers got together to bring the Irish back to Main Street, namely Joe Condon (Joe's Irish Pub), Justin Riccobono (Hudson Valley Hops, Beacon Jazz Fest, Republican Committee), Rich Kaplan (Max's on Main), Rich Brownell (Freedom Ford), and Kimberlee Markarian (Berkshire Hathaway). The inaugural Grand Marshal is Beacon resident Pat Kerr, known for his masonry work and for bringing youth soccer to Beacon in the 1970s. Corn beef sandwiches will be available from the Elk's Lodge, and expect to floats, marches from Girl Scout Troops, and  music. See the full article in this week's Beacon Free Press for more about the creation of this parade.

Enjoy responsibly! And look for deals in stores for those who are wearing green (see below for a hot tip to the tune of 20% off from Style Storehouse!), including the stores beyond the parade's end, on the east end of Main Street. Just turn that corner to experience more shops, galleries and eateries like the veggie favorite Raddish. Keep A Little Beacon Blog's Restaurant Guide open on your phone because it is arranged in order of street address, so you can find out what is around you from any point in town.



Don't miss our Second Saturday updates sharing all of the new art openings happening today in Beacon.   If you're not ready to go home after the parade, stay out a little longer and enjoy our galleries which will be open later.






If you can't wait until Record Store Day next month to add to your vinyl collection, the folks at the Sound Shack and Vinyl Savage Co are getting together to host a Pop-Up Shop March 19 & 20 from 10 am to 7 pm at 145 Main Street (that's on the west end of town, near Bank Square).

Also, here's a hot tip for you: 5 Hens will have a popup stand inside of Dennings Point Distillery on the corner of Rite Aid in the middle of town. Just listen for the live blues music coming from their warehouse space... 


To reward those wearing green, one of Beacon's newest boutiques selling designer denim and and the comfy/sexy look, Style Storehouse will give 20% off to shoppers wearing green! For all of the ladies in the house, this is your big incentive to round that corner after the parade ends on the east end of town near the mountain to investigate the shops down there - who may even be pouring a cocktail or two in Second Saturday spirit.  Style Storehouse is also one of our new Shopping Guide sponsors so stop by and check them out! 


To further sweeten your Irish spirit for St. Patrick's Day, stop into Get Frosted Cupcakery, our new "Foodie" Shopping Guide Sponsor!  For limited time only, Get Frosted Cupcakery has Guinness cupcakes with Baileys icing. But only for adults over 21 (there is a faux flavor available for kids, so you'll need to specify which one you want). These cupcakes are a must-have for your St. Patrick's Day gathering, so plan ahead and place your order soon!

#TreatYoSelf! Beacon's Main Street, side streets and neighboring Rt. 52 have many options for you to improve your life, from the inside out or outside in! We organize them all for you in our Beauty Guide.

Anyone who books a massage now through March 18th will be entered to win. New and current clients can enter this contest just by booking an upcoming service. The winner will be drawn on March 18th.

After you let the kids have fun at the Easter celebrations at Memorial Park, get your dancing shoes on and head on over to The Howland Cultural Center for their next dance, "Come on Beacon! Let's Dance!" We popped our heads inside during the last dance, and it looked like a lot of fun!

New This Week in the Things To Do In Beacon Guides At A Little Beacon Blog!

We've made so many updates to our classes and guides this week, we want to make sure you do not miss a thing!

We just found out this week that the 10th Annual Beacon Barks Parade has been postponed until the last Sunday of April 2017. In the meantime, please continue to support the Dutchess County SPCA and Beacon Barkery.


A Little Beacon Blog is happy to be a sponsor of "Turning Passion Into Profit" at Beahive on March 16th. The event is hosted by HV Women In Business, and the topic will be about how to become successful by doing what you love.
Don't worry, "CTPassat," we have added more language classes (including Spanish!) from the Fishkill Recreation Center.

Has your kid expressed an interest in Babysitting? Make sure they are trained the right way.  We added a new Babysitting category to our Kids Classes, featuring workshops that aspiring caregivers can sign up for.

Has the craft bug bitten you? Take a road trip down to Pelham in Westchester County to learn the craft of Wet Felting, where you learn to transform delicate wool fibers and into strong cloth with beautiful texture.

And don't forget to keep moving! We added more Zumba! and Tai Chi classes at the Veterans Memorial Building and Beacon Recreation Center.


March is jam-packed with upcoming events to check out! Easter is early this year, so bring the kids to Memorial Park for their annual Easter Egg hunt. More new events include a magic show with illusionist Ryan Dutcher, a special "Coffee House" night at the Howland Cultural Center (check out the "Women Artists Of The Hudson Valley" exhibit while you're there), and the inaugural Parade Of Green for St. Patrick's Day!


Plan ahead for April by supporting The Beacon Players with their rendition of Peter Pan at Beacon High School.

New This Week in the Things To Do In Beacon Guides At A Little Beacon Blog!


There seems to be a theme with the classes and events added to our Things To Do In Beacon guides this week - keep it in the family! Not only is a new "Parenting" category added, we added more classes from Waddle n Swaddle, ranging from pre-natal topics to teaching children French!

Want a change of scenery and to spend some time on a farm? Stony Kill Farm is opening its doors Saturdays and Sundays for Open Barn tours starting this month through November. Parents can even sign up to volunteer as a guide with their child!

Another class added for parent/child is the Dancin' 2's program at Yanarella Ballet School, which started this week for as young as 16 months. This class introduces children to creative movement, helping them to develop motor skills as they run, skip and jump the day away.

If you always wanted to learn how to knit, it is never too late to start, and it can be a therapeutic skill to have. Beacon Art Studio has started their Knit, Slip and Beyond class for young and old, beginner or advanced.

Speaking of crafts, added to our Events page is Fishkill's Fine Arts & Craft Fair, hosted by the Fishkill Business Association, which is going into its 23rd year. They are looking for vendors for this year's event, so get your applications in!
