What are some Christmas events in New York?
New York can certainly bring the fun when it comes to holiday events. Here are a few Christmas events in New York that you'll want to plan for this holiday season:
- Festival of Lights, Hamburg, NY: Head to the Hamburg fairgrounds and hop on Santa's Christmas Express Train Ride to go for a scenic light show tour. Take a walk through the Christmas Tree Forest for a magical light-filled stroll. Spend some time in the elf village, the toy shop, and of course, visit with Santa and tell him your biggest Christmas wish. There are plenty of fun activities and signs to see at this holiday event in Hamburg that comes to town toward the end of November.
- Planting Fields Arboretum and Coe Hall Mansion, Oyster Bay, NY: The historic Coe Hall holds its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in December along with a number of other holiday events to get you in the mood for a Holly Jolly Christmas. Home for the Holidays is the main event at the mansion with a house full of decorated Christmas trees that you can tour. Listen to live music as you enjoy the light show, grab a holiday treat at the Magnolia Cafe inside the mansion, or explore the picture-perfect Arboretum grounds.
- Keg Tree Lighting, Rochester, NY: If you are looking for a unique holiday event in New York, head to the Genesee Brew House for the annual keg tree lighting. Imagine a giant 30-foot Christmas tree built out of beer kegs. It is a free-to-attend event but you'll want to grab a bite and a brew to keep things very merry - it's a good thing you are at a brewery with a bunch of food trucks, so keeping well-fed and hydrated won't be a problem.
You don't need an official event to have fun with a New York Christmas. All you need to do is hop in an RV and go on a holiday lights road trip to experience something new and joyful around every corner.
