Also in 2022, IT’S TAP-PENING. Bethel Woods will serve as the new home of the TAP® NY: Craft Beer & Food Festival—one of the best beer festivals and prestigious competitions in the country and the longest-running in New York state—featuring over 100 from across New York state.
The grounds will also pilot a U.S. version of Hello Wood, a new art and architecture festival based on the model of Hello Wood in Europe. Hello Wood is a hands-on, design-build education platform focused on innovative and sustainable design solutions using wood as a primary construction material.
