Friedlefest 2021

note changes in bold

        July  17 2021 - one day event

We will be celebrating our twenty-fifth year of fun at Dutchess County Wilcox Park, located one mile east of the Taconic Parkway on Route 199 in Milan, NY.  We will also be remembering Mike Friedle- NY Air marshal and organizer of this event since 1995. BUT due to COVID restrictions AND a new Park director the event has radically changed.


There will be catered dinner on Saturday sponsored by Mike's wife Karal and his two daughters Alice and Johanna. Dinner is at 3 PM The early start time will allow time afterwards for folks to share stories and memories of Mike. There will also be some live music this year!

you MUST register for this dinner -only those on the list will be able to get a seat and a meal. Register by sending me an email dwapickle@gmail.com

the park has a no alcohol rule that has been lax in the past Please bear this in mind and please consider a hidden flask or other discreet ways to indulge.

The park needs everyone to register for a campsite thru them They are only allowing 1 tent per site- there are only 16 tent campsites and 10 RV campsites -they also charge out of county folks $30 per night. Cooking and campfires on site are permitted. Camping registration starts April 14 info
