In the tradition of grand Newburgh exhibitions that once showcased the first lawn mowers - COLDWELL LAWN MOWERS or early electric cars - FRONTENAC AUTOS, and fine STROOCK WOOLENS, this year’s Newburgh Illuminated Festival intends to show off the amazing array of products that are and have been manufactured in the City of Newburgh.
Newburgh holds a special place in American manufacturing history as a city of innovation and invention. It was one of the earliest American cities to be electrified when Edison built its power plant and wired it up in 1884. The Newburgh Illuminated Festival draws its name from this transformational event and highlights the passion, innovation and excitement of the current day.
Music, crafts, exhibits, tours and artists’ work in the shape of five foot tall light bulbs, each celebrating the theme of “Made in Newburgh” are scheduled for the 3 day festival.
