This Saturday and Sunday, Esther Place will be the scene of a music Fall Festival from noon to 10 each day.  The event is organized by 12HEARTU, a cultural collective dedicated to providing space for artists to gather and grow. 1 2 HEART U are Peekskill residents and business owners committed to creating a cultural center in Peekskill to support performing artists.

Their goal is to provide a space for artists, musicians, and creative professionals to gather with a focus to bring new talent to the forefront and provide a space for artists to perform, network and build a community that will sustain their practice.

In 2021’s inaugural event, more than a dozen local, regional and national bands performed at Esther Place with 600 neighbors and attendees.
