Our sponsor members, benefactor members, and donors are invited to an exclusive evening reception celebrating the opening of the Festival of Trees! We'll have great food from Wagon Train, wine, cheese, desserts, and of course the spectacular sneak-preview of glittering fir trees. Live music, too!
Celebrate the season as we fill our galleries with lighted fir trees! Decorated from classic to kooky Christmas styles, the Festival of Trees glows with the enchantment of the holidays.
Stroll through the charming streets of Schenectady’s Stockade and dive into a day of holiday cheer, special treats, and unique shopping at all your favorite local spots!
Join your hosts, Buffy Leonard and city historian Chris Leonard on a tasting and history tour of their favorite wines for the season amidst the glittering Festival of Trees!
Living historians will tempt your pallet and tickle your tastebuds with a trio of historic hot chocolates, including delicacies enjoyed by English kings and the middle-class settlers of the Mohawk and Hudson Valleys.
Due to A Very Mabee Christmas happening today, Mabee Farm will be closed to the general public. We will not be holding our regular tours. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We'll learn how revelers of yore celebrated the season, enjoy colonial-era treats and stories by the Inn's fire, and make a craft to take home.
Schenectady’s Stockade is beautiful any time of year but the holidays always bring out a certain magic! In this walking tour we’ll explore the lights and sights of this historic district while learning the ways in which generations past celebrated the season.
Join us for an elegant holiday tea party! Our Festival of Trees will be in full swing, making a glittering holiday backdrop for the occasion
