November 26, 2022

Beginning November 26th and continuing through December 14, 2022, you can drop off your Letters to Santa. Just look for the special letterbox located at the corner of Jennings and State Street in the heart of downtown Newburgh. Drop your letter in the box and thanks to a little holiday magic, it will find its way to the North Pole to the big man, Santa himself. Those letters that include a return address will even receive a handwritten letter in return from Santa's elves.

November 26, 2022, is also Small Business Saturday, and it is the perfect time to make a stop at any (or all!) of the small, local businesses located in Historic Newburgh.

December 1 - 4, 2022 & December 8 - 11, 2022

December 1st through 4th and 8th through 11th, you can take a stroll through Newburgh Winterlights - a self-guided walking tour through thousands of twinkling Christmas lights. The cost is just $5, and children under the age of 2 are admitted free.
