Caramoor Center for Music & Arts

Why we
love it

The stunning environment, the history and the dedication to bringing a wide collaboration between art and music to the community at Caramoor is second to none. Between festival days, Friends' Field events and the bigger headliners of the Venetian; it's hard to recall a more exciting and alive experience. Come for the music, stay for the food and enjoy the beauty of the space.
Love it...

Caramoor Center for Music & Arts

Caramoor is home to metropolitan New York’s largest annual outdoor music festival. There is nothing typical about an event at Caramoor. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Caramoor is a 90-acre historic estate in Katonah, NY with woodland trails, spectacular gardens, and a range of beautiful facilities available to rent for weddings, family celebrations, corporate events and retreats, photoshoots, and other types of events that the sprawling grounds can accommodate.


Caramoor is the legacy of Walter and Lucie Rosen, who established the estate and built a great house as its centerpiece. Their legendary musical evenings were the seeds of today’s Summer Music Festival that are held annually on the estate grounds, and now year-round in the Rosen House Music Room. Located in the greater metropolitan New York area, we are accessible to all area airports, highways, Metronorth, and hotels.

The romantic, rose-covered gazebo serves as a stunning focal point for visitors on the gently sloped lawn, and guests may relax on benches by the Iris & Peony Garden. Sound, power, and additional tenting are available so that you can plan the event you want and enjoy the outdoors.
