Nyack's Winter Wanderland Welcomes Families Every Weekend Through February

Nyack's Winter Wanderland Welcomes Families Every Weekend Through February

Have breakfast with Santa, listen to live music, and support small businesses along the Hudson riverfront.


Nyack's Winter Wanderland invites families to safely enjoy pleasures this holiday—like sidewalk shopping, dining, fire pits, music, and decorations—all along the Hudson riverfront. It's a continuation of Nyack's Safe Haven activities that closed streets for outdoor shopping and dining last spring. The program will run Saturdays and Sundays through Feb. 28 and masks and social distancing are required at all times.

“Nyack is a special place to spend time during the holidays and winter months,” said Nyack mayor Don Hammond. “The village offers so much to see and do in a comfortable, walkable space—safely. So we’re doing both—offering a Safe Haven for great experiences, and keeping protection for the public as the bottom line.”
