The questions Putnam searches this week, answer first, source after.
Who plays the feast this week?
The lineup so far: DJ Serg opens Friday night, with Lisa Messina and John Micalizzi at 7:30. Saturday brings the FDR Drive Band. Sunday afternoon has Andrea and the Armenian Rug Riders at 3:00 PM. The feast's site says more acts are announced as they commit, so it pays to check before you drive over.
Yes, and it is one of the last chances this season. Tours run Saturday, September 12, 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM, leaving from 1 Chestnut Street in Cold Spring, per the county's REV 250 calendar. Registration is required, and the remaining 2026 date after Saturday is September 26.
Nothing broke overnight. No active National Weather Service alerts for Putnam County and no new road or utility advisories logged as of Monday morning. Quiet is the story we can verify; when the next storm or closure lands, it leads this section the same morning.
