Holiday Parking Perks Today — Sanitation Moves to Tuesday
Nyack, NY · September 7, 2026
Walking down Main Street without feeding the parking meter is your clearest signal that summer's finale has arrived. Enjoy the quiet holiday pace along the river today before the autumn rush resumes tomorrow morning.
The Lead
Live jazz filled North Broadway this weekend as music fans packed lawn chairs outside Maureen’s Jazz Cellar for the annual village jazz celebration, capped by a headline set from saxophonist Ravi Coltrane. Today brings a welcome holiday pause along the Hudson before the autumn rush takes hold tomorrow. Nyack Public Schools resume Tuesday for their first full week of the academic year, bringing yellow buses back onto Midland and North Highland avenues after last week's brief orientation. Village municipal staff and road crews return to work tomorrow as well, pivoting immediately to seasonal capital tasks. That work includes upcoming milling and resurfacing on Burd Street between Broadway and Piermont Avenue, where fresh asphalt will replace heavily worn pavement. For now, the waterfront belongs to anyone lingering over the holiday.

Spotlight & Story
- The Tuttle Factory
- Long before downtown was dominated by dining, six factories produced roughly 12,000 pairs of shoes weekly, cementing the village's 19th-century reputation as "Shoe Town." Constructed in 1896 at Mill and Jackson streets, this three-story brick survivor still anchors that industrial chapter.
