It's that time of year and Oktoberfest celebrations are popping up all over Westchester and the Hudson Valley. While family-friendly isn't what usually comes to mind when you think of Oktoberfest, there are lots of way to celebrate this traditional Bavarian festival beyond just a pub crawl.
We have rounded up more than a dozen Oktoberfest celebrations in Westchester and the Hudson Valley that also offer great activities for kids. From pumpkin painting and bounce houses to ax throwing and stein races—and, of course, a great selection of beer, pretzels, and bratwurst—these Oktoberfests are fun for the whole family.
So don your best lederhosen and start the celebrations. Find more great autumn activities in our Westchester & Hudson Valley Kids Fall Guide.
If you have a budding ballerina who's pleading for dance classes in New York City, you'll find yourself spoiled for choice, and that fact holds true across genres and genders. We've rounded up 22 studios offering kids' dance classes in NYC. Most of these New York City dance classes offer programs for boys and girls, and, in most cases, kids can study multiple styles at one studio; only a few specialize in one discipline.
For more great classes for kids, including everything from baby swim lessons to gymnastics classes, check out our New York City Classes for Kids Guide and Classes Directory.
