WinterWalk & Winter Parade

---

Santa's helpers are preparing for the 2024 holiday season -- the Valatie Winter Parade with Santa Claus steps off at 5:00PM sharp! 

** Local Fire Departments are joining the parade! 

Shop in our stores, get your face-painted, bathe in holiday light displays and mingle with meandering carolers. Wish your neighbors well!

WinterWalk & Winter Parade is sponsored by the Village of Valatie, the Valatie Santa Claus Club, Valatie Now, and the Valatie Economic Redevelopment Association (V.E.R.A.) 

The parade will be populated by firetrucks and rescue vehicles from eighteen area fire departments, as well as carolers from regional organizations, and Dance Diversity performers! An iconic highlight of Valatie's winter parade is Santa Claus riding on his sleigh. 

Following  the Parade, Santa will visit inside the spacious Gymnasium located within the Martin H. Glynn Municipal Building  (Not  the Valatie Theatre). Santa will greet kids and offer a goodie bag for each child age ten and under. Mrs. Claus will attend!

The Main Street "Holiday Tree Lighting* will be held at 7:30 PM.

Kids of all ages will enjoy special holiday productions... 

A variety of live musical performances Up & Down Main Street!

Snap some winter-time pictures including holiday views of our iconic waterfalls, and do some holiday shopping with our eclectic mix of stores and boutiques in the charming and historic Village of Valatie.
