“Wine lovers have a great place to reconnoiter at Artisan Wine Shop (www.artisanwineshop.com), where shop owners Timothy Buzinski and Mei Ying So provide the finest local and international wines available, while hosting regular wine tastings (see website for more). But should you find yourself in Beacon Columbus Day weekend, Saturday October 11, make your way to the “back end” of Beacon to the famous Howland Cultural Center (www.howlandculturalcenter.org) where self proclaimed “rabble-rouser” John Pietaro—of The Flames of Discontent—hosts his annual Dissident Folk & Arts Festival. John is unabashedly pro-union, progressive, and politically active, and along with his own band he presents Bev Grant & the Dissident Daughters, Hope Machine, Chris Ruhe, The Hudson Valley Playback Theatre, the Slink Moss Orchestra, Zenote Sompantle, Hip-Hop poet OL SoUL, and radical poets Addision Goodson, Lawrence Soebel, Robert Milby and Sana Shabazz”
