The 21st season of the Depot Friday Night Series kicks off on the first Friday in June and runs every Friday evening through the last Friday in August, bringing 13 nights of music, great food, and wonderful community spirit. Things take place at the Newark Valley Depot Museum, located in the heart of downtown Newark Valley.<\/p>\n
