The Hudson Valley is filled with festive and magical events during the holiday season. Some of these once a year activities can make us feel like children again.

Growing up, we may have had family traditions that we celebrated each year. As adults, we can continue those traditions and create new ones as well.

As the Hudson Valley continues to grow, we can expect an increase of fun filled events, festivals and activities during each season.
