I Love the Night Life! (For Your Listening Pleasure)

MILFORD, PA HAS A LOT MORE GOING ON THAN JUST HUGGIN' TREES & KISSIN' ROCKS!

     Over the years, Milford has become attractive to many performing artists because of its proximity to NYC (about 70 miles to the GW Bridge).  It's lure is both leisure living and an old Victorian village nestled in the mountains of Pike County, PA.  As a result, the night life has become very appealing because of the diverse talent who have taken up residence in our beautiful area situated on the Delaware River.  Art and music thrive in the Village.  One of the major night spots is The Water Wheel Cafe and, more recently opened, the Bar Louis at the Hotel Fauchere.  Another venue offering live music is The Apple Valley.  A yearly music event to launch our Summer season is the Milford Music Festival.  In years past it has headlined such names as New Riders of the Purple Sage.  It's a three day event that showcases all different styles and types of music, either at the park or at participating sponsors throughout the Village.  We also are reknowned for the Black Bear Film Festival in the Fall of the year.  If you are a lover of blues, jazz, rock, you name it, or of contemporary art, Milford, PA is the place for you!  Here is some of the great talent one can find in our Milford area -

Well, that is some collection of performers isn't it?  What is the draw to Milford?  College students? Art Crowd?

Evelyn, it is just a really cool place to live.  Great natural beauty and resources offering much in the way of outdoor life, as well as great art, diverse music and cultural offerings.  Milford, identified by a major travel publication (Frommers) as one of the "ten coolest small towns in America," is a very quaint Victorian style village nestled on the banks of the Delaware River, featuring wonderful inns and antique shops and other charming retail enterprises.

Hey,, Renée. I just had absolutely no idea that huggin' trees and kissin' rocks were the main activities in Milford, but I certainly am glad to know that there's more to do! LOL

Milford , was also home to the Recording Studio for the ill fated band "South" whose lead singer died in a car crash at the edge of town , just as they were ready to go big in the Southern Rock days ! It is an awesome album if you can find a copy !
