Mount Kisco kicked off the holiday season with its annual Holiday Fest – a full day of shopping, winter activities and festive fun.

Village organizations teamed up to create an event that drew crowds downtown to celebrate the season.

The day began with the Children’s Toy Party, where more than 300 toys were given to kids of all ages. This tradition has been part of the community for nearly 50 years.

After the giveaway, downtown Mount Kisco came alive with outdoor markets, a polar bear obstacle course, fire truck rides, and more family-friendly attractions.

One highlight was the Cookie Crawl, which encouraged visitors to explore local businesses while collecting sweet treats along the way. The Holiday Fest not only celebrates the season but showcases mom-and-pop shops to new customers.
