The parade will depart from the New Paltz Middle School parking lot (196 Main Street) and process down Main Street to Hasbrouck Park, located at 15 Mohonk Avenue in New Paltz.

Holiday Hoopla is a fun, family-oriented event designed to bring good cheer, come together in community, and provide valuable information and support to community members who may be experiencing different life challenges. This year’s parade will include several floats, Clydesdale horses, music, the “Candy Cane Crew,” Santa and his polar bear buddy, and more!

The carnival will include outdoor games and activities, bounce house, photo booth with Santa and his polar bear buddy, karaoke, live performances by the Jim Decker Band, Hula Hoopers for Humanity, local youth from the New Paltz Middle School and New Paltz High School, and David Chapman Music.
