December in the Catskills and Hudson Valley is always a feast for the senses! There are holiday displays, there are makers’ markets with DJ’s, oysters, and incredible wares you won’t find in any shop, and there is always counter-programming for when the red, green, silver, and cheerful become way too much. While the wind blows and the landscape softens under drifts of snow, we’re doing things! Join us, the local experts in Upstate Real Estate as we tug on just a few of the strings that make up Upstate’s tapestry of a calendar this month.

That one will require three-to-five days of thawing, Aunt Hilda! It will also take a minor miracle to taste like anything besides regret! 

What we are talking about are local turkeys raised on small farms in the Upstate region who havecultivated heritagebreeds and truly free-range birds using sustainable practices. If you’re going toeat a turkey for Thanksgiving-and let’s face it, over 90% of us are going to eat a turkey forThanksgiving (only

November in the Catskills brings a magical transition – autumn’s final colorful leaves give way to dustings of snow on the mountain peaks and the crisp fall air transitions to just a little bit nippy. While the Hudson Valley does quiet down a bit after peak fall foliage, those in the know understand that November is when our region gets comfy-cozy with indoor markets, festive pre-holiday celebrations, and intimate arts events that showcase the best of our creative community. Whether you're seeking the warmth of a farm-to-table harvest dinner, the excitement of a local makers’ market, or the serenity of a late-autumn hike in search of a new species of lichen, our curated guide to November 2024 events in the Hudson Valley and Catskills proves that

Events & Activities In The Catskills & Hudson Valley

Autumn approaches! September is the in-between month in the Catskills and Hudson Valley regions. With school in session and August vacations in the rearview mirror there are less people about; peak leaf peeping time, we're told, will be firmly seated in October this year, so the traffic is just a bit lighter this month.

In September, the events of the Catskills and Hudson Valley are flavored with the region's rich culture, history and culinary traditions. Here are the recommendations for local events from our many
