6th Annual
New Paltz Hoopla
December 6th & December 13th
Welcome, everyone!
​As we continue to grow and evolve, so too does our annual celebration!
​
This year's 6th Annual New Paltz Hoopla celebration is a 2-Day event with both days offering different opportunities to come together as a community, share some sweetness and smiles, and provide important information about local resources.
*We are very sorry to say that due to unforeseen circumstance, the Holiday Hoopla Parade will not take place this year. We appreciate your understanding and are excited to bring it back next year bigger, brighter, and better than ever!
