Tivoli schedules Street Painting Festival Sept. 27, sets trash forum for Oct. 7; seeks volunteers
Summary
Village organizers outlined the Street Painting Festival, a Veterans Banner project, and the second Trash Forum; requested volunteers and described donation-driven Watts/Piester grounds beautification plans.
Organizers told the Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees the annual Street Painting Festival is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27, with a rain date listed in the meeting as Sept. 20. Broadway in Tivoli will be closed for the event; participants can reserve a square online, sign up at the village hall, or show up the day of the festival.
The meeting record says the fire department will sell food at the festival; the American Legion may also operate a food stand. Music is planned from the Moonlighters and a village group described as the Hootenanny. Volunteers were asked to help set up (street cleanup and marking) beginning about 7:30 a.m. and to assist with cleanup at the end of the day.
Clerk and staff announced a call for volunteers for a Veterans Banner Project Committee to handle outreach, design and execution for a hometown-heroes banner drive. The clerk also announced the Watts/Piester Grounds beautification project planned for 2026: the village hopes residents will donate plants and provide tools and labor to landscape the historic Watts/Piester grounds and gazebo area. Residents were asked to contact Chris McClurk or Harold Diedrich at the American Legion to volunteer.
The board scheduled Round Two of the Trash Forum for Oct. 7 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall meeting space. Trustees said they plan to circulate numbers and proposals in advance so participants come to the forum with the same data and can discuss cost and sustainability options — the meeting record references an ongoing experiment with the Village of Red Hook on collection and recycling.
