Palenville Tree Lighting and Neighborhood Luminarias
​At the first of December we gather around a Christmas Tree to share music, songs and cookies before the Tree comes to life. Two residential streets are bright with luminarias, small containers with flickering lights. Sign up if you want your house or neighborhood to join this beautiful tradition of light within the darkness of winter.

Paypal for Palenville The Hamlet, Inc.
PALENVILLE is an enchanting hamlet at the base of the glorious Kaaterskill Clove, a scenic parting of the mountains lined with countless waterfalls and swimming holes, lush green trees and mossy boulders. ​Another name for Palenville is "the village of falling waters" as described in the legend of Rip Van Winkle, a fictional citizen of the hamlet. ​

​This neighborhood was portrayed by the landscape painters of the Hudson River School, who stayed here while capturing the ethereal scenery of America's Catskill Mountains.
