A Parent’s Year-Round Guide: The Westchester Annual Guide 2024-2025 is now out!
Being a parent in New York is like no other and we get that. Here in Westchester, we get the best of both worlds. We can enjoy the peace of suburban living while knowing the greatest city in the world right is next door. Naturally,
raising a family here comes with some major benefits. We get year-round access to some of the best attractions, events, activities and fun that simply can’t be found anywhere else in the world!
That is why we, too, are excited when our Annual Guide arrives, bringing with it 365 days of resources and info in one little handheld guide.
It might be surprising but there are tons of free activities to enjoy in Westchester throughout the year. Whether you’re new to Westchester, lived here a few years, or are thinking about moving here, we have you covered with our endless list of resources and things to do with your kids all year long.
If you like trips to the city, be sure to check out the New York Family Annual Guide!
The Annual Guide covers more than just what is going on this month; it spans the whole year. Our Family Calendar (page 27) is loaded with 12 months of events your family will love. Think: Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Rockefeller Christmas tree arrival, plus all of the most exciting annual parades, carnivals and festivals New York has to offer. Peruse the calendar pages and bookmark the events you want to attend, then be sure to check back in with us on our digital Family Calendar (page 38) as each event gets closer for more details – and more family-friendly events too!

Our Annual Guide comes out in July and we’re still in the dog days of summer, so we’re sharing our favorite family-friendly pools (page 10) for keeping your cool when the heat waves are heat waving (relief soon, please?). Fall will be here before we know it, though, so see we’re sharing our favorite pumpkin-picking farms to get you started on your Halloween celebrations. (page 16).
We just love a day on the farm, any time of year really. Our Ultimate Guide to Pick-Your-Own-Farms (page 24) features everything you need to head out with the family for some fresh air and freshly picked goodies! We’re sharing all you need to know about picking your own fruits, veggies, flowers, and even Christmas trees, including what is in season and when, so your family is ready for a farm day, any day!
One thing you can do all year round is visit a plethora of museums any day of the week. We updated our roundup of the best museums in and around Westchester (page 38) so you can plan some educational but fun outings with your kids.
