The Sullivan Catskills continues to soar as the 78th dove in the Dove Trail is set to be unveiled at the Parksville Cultural Center. This exciting event marks another milestone in a project that celebrates the rich cultural history of the Catskills while supporting local artists.
The Dove Trail pays homage to the 1969 Woodstock Festival, a defining moment in music and cultural history. Each dove, uniquely designed and painted by a regional artist, captures the spirit of peace, love, and creativity that the festival embodied. Scattered across Sullivan County, these doves tell a story of community, art, and history, drawing visitors to explore the beauty of the region.
