REVFest: a great day last year, a shuttle barrier this year

We loved REVFest at Croton Point Park in 2025. In 2026, the required shuttle was more than Isamu could manage, so we couldn’t attend.

Last year at Croton Point Park

We had so much fun at REVFest at Croton Point Park last year. There were Native American performances, live music and historical reenactments, all in a beautiful setting along the Hudson River. We could explore, enjoy the performances and spend time by the water. It was a really good day out for our family.

This year, getting there was the barrier

We wanted to go again this year, but attending meant taking a shuttle to the event site. That was something Isamu just couldn’t handle, and we couldn’t make the visit work. We didn’t attend the festival this year, so we can’t review what it was like once you got there.

The journey is part of accessibility

For us, whether an outing works starts before we reach the entrance. Parking, waiting and getting from the car to the event all matter. A required shuttle can be the thing that makes an otherwise appealing day impossible for our family. It was especially disappointing because we had such a good experience last year.

What we would check before another visit

Before planning a future visit, we would check the location, parking arrangements and whether there is any way to reach the entrance without taking a shuttle. We would also ask about drop-off options and stroller accommodations. We haven’t confirmed what alternatives, if any, were available this year. Our photos and on-site impressions here are all from our 2025 visit to Croton Point Park.

Sensory and practical notes

Last year’s visit included live music and reenactments. Loud noise isn’t generally a problem for Isamu, but those elements may matter for other families. We haven’t assessed wheelchair routes, bathroom or changing facilities, or shuttle accessibility, so we can’t make recommendations about those features.

Would we go again?

We loved our day at Croton Point Park and would be interested in going again if the arrival arrangements worked for Isamu. This year, the shuttle requirement meant we had to miss it. For our family, being able to get to an event comfortably is part of being able to enjoy it.
