As easy as it is to stay inside all bundled up during the winter season, in an effort to fight off cabin fever we make a point to get outside to experience some holiday cheer, even if it is completely freezing out! Some of us New Yorkers may head outdoors to do some sledding or perhaps even join in on Christmas caroling, but what if we told you that you could go for a charming stroll through a whole Christmas tree forest? No, we’re not teasing you! This enchanting adventure is entirely real, and here’s how you can check it out yourself.
Happening out in Erie County, every year at the Hamburg Fairgrounds, New Yorkers can come and see what the Fairgrounds Festival of Lights has to offer.
