Holiday season is upon us!

The Chamber of Commerce has an exciting schedule of events for the upcoming holiday season, starting with Small Business Saturday on Nov. 28. We will co-host a Story Walk with the library and All Together Now. Frosty will lead a group from participating businesses displaying pages from the book "Snowmen at Night." It will begin with a themed craft at the library and end at All Together Now.

During the day, the Chamber will hand out shopping bags featuring the theme "Love Kisco Shop Kisco" at various points downtown. Weather permitting, Mt. Kisco Seafood will showcase ice sculpting at its shop (477 Lexington Ave.). Please stop by and watch a block of ice be transformed into a gorgeous piece of art.

On Friday, Dec. 4, the Chamber and the village will co-host the annual Christmas tree lighting. The fun begins at 6 p.m. on the steps of Village Hall. Join us to hear the choruses from Mount Kisco Elementary and West Patent Elementary schools, a new bell choir from the Westchester Family Church, and the St. Francis Contemporary Choir. Join us for the countdown to the tree lighting with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Refreshments will be served.

Sunday, Dec. 6, will be Light Up Mt. Kisco, the lighting of the menorah on the village lawn. Local clergy and government officials sponsor this event. It will take place at 6:30 p.m. Hot chocolate and jelly doughnuts will be served.

Saturday, Dec. 12, HolidayFest returns to Mount Kisco! We are once again coordinating with the Mount Kisco Recreation Department and the Mount Kisco Fire Department to bring an even bigger and more festive full day of events! The Fire Department, along with Toys for Tots, starts the day at the American Legion with a toy giveaway, music and a visit from Santa. Downtown Mount Kisco transforms into a shopping mecca with attractions for the whole family: a giant snow globe for picture-taking, the annual Cookie Crawl, an enormous polar obstacle course, refreshments, a bonfire, seasonal music and loads of shopping opportunities! Around 4:30 p.m., the Mount Kisco Fire Department kicks off the annual Light Parade. The parade will feature a beautiful display of fire trucks decorated with seasonal lights and other vehicles driving down Green Street to South Moger Avenue.

Let the holiday shopping begin! And don’t forget to check out the new decorations at the gazebo! Thank you to NY Landscape Lighting. Please go to our website for more details on these and other upcoming events: mtkiscochamber.com.

There has been progress on the Preston Way Bridge. As per the village’s website:

Please be advised that the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has approved the Village to issue the bid for the Preston Way Bridge Replacement.
