This year may look different, but at the Historical Society of Rockland County we’re striving to keep the holiday tradition alive with our 59th annual Saint Nicholas Day program. We’re offering our experience this year as a combination of curbside pickup and online storytelling, with an in-person photo option following CDC safety guidelines to keep everyone healthy!

Visit the Historical Society of Rockland County for an unforgettable experience of wonder and fun:
  • Experience the traditional Dutch St. Nicholas celebration in your own home
  • Magically fill shoes with goodies included in our pickup boxes
  • Hear wondrous and joyful stories via a unique link
  • Enjoy holiday refreshments packaged to go
  • Meet Saint Nicholas and his beautiful horse for a COVID-friendly photo op

Each Saint Nicholas Box contains our traditional printed program highlighting this Dutch tradition. You will also receive individually packaged refreshments, recipes, special treats with instructions for filling children’s shoes, and a unique link to view our magical storytelling done virtually from the Jacob Blauvelt House. When you come at your reserved time to pick up your box, you’ll have the chance to visit with Saint Nicholas and his horse for a photo op (no contact please). Mask are required, and social distancing must be observed.

St. Nicholas Day is a highlight of the holiday season. Many adults who enjoyed this event in the past, as children, now celebrate with their own families. Why not begin your own tradition and join us?

* Three family groups will be scheduled in each pickup-time period to ensure safe social distancing!
