RIVER VALLEY — Holiday cheer is in abundance throughout the river valley as communities make ready for the winter holidays. Jeffersonville and Honesdale officially kicked off the season on Thanksgiving weekend with their annual James Dworetsky Parade and Santa Parade, respectively. Port Jervis hosted Christkindlmarkt on November 26. The Greater Barryville Chamber of Commerce officially turned on its tree on December 2, while the four corners in Eldred dazzled with a light show sponsored by the Monteleone family. Holiday Magic in Narrowsburg, coordinated by the Tusten Youth Commission and numerous other businesses and organizations, on December 2 created Whoville and hosted a tree lighting, cupcake decorating and ornament making. The festivities continue next weekend as Hawley holds its Winterfest and Callicoon puts on “Dickens on the Delaware.” For much more holiday celebrations, check out the Where & When calendar, both in print and online.
