Winter "Wander-Land" in Nyack
Nyack’s Winter Wanderland showcases the best of what Nyack has to offer every Saturday and Sunday through February 28, 2021.
Congratulations to "Knitting Nation" on North Broadway for receiving the most "Likes" in the Wanderland Window Decorating Contest. The snowy winter scene complete with a snowman made of yarn was creative and cozy. Thanks to all the businesses who participated and made the holidays sparkle in Nyack this year.
Wanderland now invites visitors to “wander” through town to enjoy seasonal pleasures — sidewalk shopping and winter markets, hearty food and hot drinks, festive lights, the warmth of fire pits, and the joy of beautiful music – all with a backdrop of breathtaking views and access to the Hudson River.
“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.”
