'Sleighbells On The Avenues' 2024 In Larchmont Is Ready To Jingle

LARCHMONT, NY — Santa is still a few weeks away from visiting the Hudson Valley, but the holiday excitement is already getting started in Larchmont, and the fun starts just as soon as we find "Frosty."

The village is once again set to light up and will soon be filled with the sound of sleighbells as horse-drawn carriage rides, visits with Santa, community carolers and holiday decor turn the streets of the picturesque village into a living holiday postcard.

A series of free events organized by the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce and supported by local merchants will take place throughout the holiday season.

If you’re shopping in person, there will be free parking on both Saturday, November 30 and Saturday, December 7.
