From St. Patrick's Day parades to the arrival of spring and plenty of Easter fun, March is a great time to get out and enjoy Westchester and the Hudson Valley.

March features multiple celebrations of St. Patrick's Day, including the annual Luck of the Hill event at Ridge Hill, which has live music, dancing, and Irish flair. Also celebrated in March is Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colors. Kids can get messy and learn about this fun and colorful festival at this Holi Art Party at Shake it Off.  

Families can also reap the sweet rewards of the maple sugaring season in March at multiple events, including Maple Fest at The Ashokan Center and Teatown's Pancake Brunch and Maple Celebration.

These are just a few of our favorite things to do in Westchester and the Hudson Valley this March—we're adding more events to the Westchester Events Calendar every day.
