Weekday Picks for Westchester Kids: Wimpy Kid, Origami, Tree Lighting, Nov. 16-20

Not ready to think Christmas? Not a problem: Our Event Calendar has plenty of alternatives to choose from and is loaded with options for every day of the week! Read on for our top weekday picks!

It’s true: The first tree-lighting event of the season in Westchester takes place before Thanksgiving.

For added shimmer: a fireworks display!
