2/5/20 - By Susan Miele

So much fun, both indoors and outdoors, awaits Westchester and Hudson Valley families this winter weekend! Our February GoList heralded several of our faves, and below are some more to choose from.

One of the headliners is the annual Hudson River Eaglefest, a multi-site event that celebrates the eagle’s return to Westchester, with viewing points up and down the river plus various attractions. It’s also time to celebrate the Year of the Rat, and we’ve identified several ways to do so, including the annual Chinese New Year Festival at Purchase College and the Lunar New Year Festival at the Hudson River Museum. For those looking to embrace the season, get outdoors for Winter on the Farm, replete with a pancake brunch, or take advantage of maple-sugaring season at Tappin' the Maple Trees.

We love how many of our top picks this weekend are FREE! Be sure to consult our Event Calendar for tons of activities every single day. If you haven't done so already, sign up for our newsletters to stay in the know!
