Y. — A fleet of hippie buses has taken over a quirky village in Upstate New York. But don’t worry, travelers: The only parking spots the colorful, miniature vehicles take up are on sidewalks throughout charming Saugerties , a community recently named one of the 10 best small towns in the Northeast.

The hippie buses are part of “Groovin’ Around Saugerties” — a summer street art display in the Catskills village. Local artists painted each of the 37 buses into unique sculptures perched on pedestals on the side of Saugerties’ streets. The theme of the village’s yearly street art show coincides with the 30th anniversary of Woodstock 1994, which was held in Saugerties.

Samantha House | [email protected] Samantha House | shouse@syracuse The mini hippie buses range from psychedelic creations original Woodstock attendees would be proud to own — including one with Jimi Hendrix at the wheel — to muted little vehicles driving on pedestals painted to look like the beautiful Catskills countryside. If they were roadworthy, the buses would be big enough to ferry around an average house cat.

They are adorned with ceramic mushrooms and miniature mirrors, Mardi Gras beads and a variety of furred and feathered friends. And even on the streets of photogenic Saugerties, the little painted buses stand out — drawing the eyes and cameras of curious passersby.
