White Plains, NY (PRWEB) July 17, 2014 -- Summer is in full swing in Westchester County and the forecast calls for plenty of exciting activities that the entire family can do together. The first stop in the Lower Hudson Valley is the perfect weekend destination, where families can find everything from music and culture, to outdoor adventures and unique hotel packages.

“Now that we are midway into the summer season, we are thrilled to share all the wonderful events and activities that Westchester has to offer through Labor Day weekend,” said County Executive Robert P. Astorino. “From music and the arts to outdoor adventures in our many parks, pools and beaches, invite family and friends for a weekend getaway to remember.”

The following is a list of upcoming events and attractions:

Escape to Music & The Arts
Throughout the rest of July and into August, Lyndhurst has a variety of events scheduled for locals and visitors alike, including its Sunset Jazz Outdoor Music Series on Thursdays.

Then, on Thursday, July 31 Hendrik Meurkens, a virtuoso on both the chromatic harmonica and the vibraphone, will perform as part of the Samba Jazz Quintet Sunset Jazz.

Escape to Explore
Hike, bike, skate, jog or walk and enjoy nature’s picturesque surroundings all at the same time. An extraordinary trail system meanders throughout the county and offers beautiful scenery with parks, picnic spots, restaurants, historic sites and nature preserves along the way. The trails detail distances, access points, historical notes, sites of interest and available parking locations near the trails' main access points. Some of the most popular trails include the Briarcliff – Peekskill Trailway, Westchester’s RiverWalk, Colonial Greenway, North County Trailway, the Old Croton-Aqueduct Trail/State Historic Park and South County Trailway.

Throughout the rest of August, visitors can enjoy other exciting walks and adventures including wildflower walks and bird walks. Muscoot Farm is a Westchester County Park that strives to preserve and interpret its agrarian past. It was originally a "Gentleman's Farm" founded by Ferdinand T. Hopkins in 1880 and operated as a dairy farm until Westchester County acquired the property in the late 1960s. Visitors may stroll through the original barns, visit with the animals, participate in educational programs or hike the many miles of trails. There is something for everyone on Muscoot’s 777 acres. Muscoot Farm is located at 51 Route 100 in Katonah. For more information, call (914) 864-7282 or visit http://muscootfarm.org/.
