Virtual Activities and Events - Westchester

 Friday, December 11

Crab Tree’s Kittle House – The cold weather is definitely a challenge for everyone trying to stay safe during these times. If outdoor dining is still on your agenda, bundle up and treat yourself and your significant other for drinks and an early dinner in Chappaqua. 
Saturday, December 12 

Pop-Up Holiday Ice Skating Rink – Go to Cross County Center and enjoy some outdoor holiday fun. The skating rink has been enlarged this year, and obviously social distance rules are applied. The hours on Saturday are 12 to 8pm.

Holiday on The Hill– Enjoy this holiday display hosted by the Friends of Lasdon Park & Arboretum in Katonah, featuring model trains and scheduled Santa visits. Tickets are available only online only. Visit the website to view all the Covid-19 protocols in place.

Catskill Christmas Express– Trying to avoid spreading out on your couch and watching “The Polar Express” for the 27th time? (Who can ever really get tired of that 16 year-old “new classic”!?). Well, why not hop aboard the Catskill Mountain Christmas trip? The owners have wisely postponed its Polar Express-themed performance trip until 2021, but it is still running its open air cars for a lovely 60-minute trip in Kingston. Frigid, family fun!

DIGITAL DIAMONDS: VIRTUAL EVENTS TO SUPPORT

A Christmas Carol – One advantage of having virtual events is that we’re not constrained by our geography in what we can enjoy online. Is this just another predictable replay of “A Christmas Carol”? No – because the solo actor presenting this show since 1993 is Gerald Dickens, Charles Dickens’ great great grandson, skillfully portraying over 30 characters in a little over an hour!

Unison’s 30th Annual Craft Art and Design Fair – This event has gone online this year, so that you can browse and shop from the comfort of your home. This is a great way to support participating local artists and vendors whom you might not otherwise have known about.

5^th Annual Roots n’ Ruckus Festival – Music lovers seeking familiar and fresh songs will not want to miss this live-stream of folk and roots artists brought together by the Jalopy Theatre and School of Music, the wonderfully creative Brooklyn folk/roots music mainstay. The 5-day festival, masterfully labeled in this Pandemic Era as “The ‘Stay the Folk Home’ Edition”, started on Dec. 9^th and is a fund-raiser for the Jalopy. Bias Alert: My husband was born in this booming borough, and has a massive Brooklyn bias (which makes him oddly blurt out to random strangers: “You know, some historians contend that 11% of all Americans can trace their roots through Brooklyn!”).

FEATURED BUSINESS: LA DENTELLIERE

 

If you are in search of that exquisite little gift for that special person and you’re not quite sure where to look, you must pay a visit to La Dentelliere in Scarsdale. I guarantee you that the entire shop will be source of inspiration for you!
