It’s spring 2026 in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, and the events that are available across the Upstate region are as eclectic as all get out! From puppets to alpacas, from hardcore backpacking to relaxing retreats, from plays about artistic differences between a country mouse and a city mouse to hunts for tadpoles, if you want to take a break from work (please take a break from work) and enjoy yourself, there are so many options that aren’t just something to do for a few hours, but something to remember for a long time.

As the top-selling real estate company in the region* we stay as plugged into what’s available for our clients and neighbors in learning and leisure in each of the towns we live and work in. Here are our picks for April and May,

Our list of events for November and December 2025 in the Catskills and Hudson Valley does not include the usual parade of Nutcracker performances and Handel's Messiah sing-alongs.

They are to deeply satisfying escapes from the usual holiday melee you might elsewhere - Upstate gets carried away just like everyone else.

Things To Do In Upstate New York! Being in the Real Estate biz, we're plugged into the event scene across the many counties of the Hudson Valley and Catskills region. We love all the creativity we're seeing! It seems that our neighbors spent the quiet pandemic time coming up with new and different ways for us to have fun together (without discarding the best of the old ways).
