A Week in Nyack: What to Do November 12–18, Minutes From 7 South Highland
Downtown Nyack in mid-November is the reason people move here — and stay. You don’t need a car, a plan, or a long drive to fill a week. From 7 South Highland, at 7 S Highland Ave, the village is outside your door: Broadway shops, the river, and a calendar that keeps going after summer ends.
Here’s what’s on this week, November 12–18, 2026:
Thursday, November 12, 8 a.m.–2 p.m. — Nyack Farmers Market. The Nyack Chamber of Commerce’s Farmers Market runs every Thursday, with produce, prepared foods, seafood, treats, and other local vendors.
Thursday, November 12, 6:30–8 p.m. — Silk Painting with Marisol, Nyack Pop, 6 S Broadway. Local artist Marisol Diaz leads a hands-on silk-painting workshop presented by Saffron Trading Company. Choose from eight designs and take home an 8-inch silk piece. No experience necessary; all materials are provided. Cost is $55 per person, including materials and refreshments. Reservations are required.
Friday, November 13, 7–10 p.m. — Friday Night Film School: The Fall, Nyack Library, Community Meeting Room. Geoff Klock, who teaches Plato and Shakespeare at CUNY, screens the 2006 film and pauses it along the way to talk through it — a man telling a beautiful, fantastic tale to a child, and the question of who the tale really belongs to. Free.
Friday, November 13, 7:30 p.m. — Nyack High School Presents Clue!, Nyack High School, 360 Christian Herald Rd. The Nyack High School Drama Club stages the classic whodunit — colourful suspects, outrageous secrets, and plenty of twists. A good first date, family night, or excuse to meet neighbours who are also going.
Friday, November 13, 8 p.m. — Dial “M” for Murder, Elmwood Playhouse, 10 Park St. A suspenseful thriller full of twists and deception, as a jealous husband’s perfect murder begins to unravel. Opening night is Friday, November 13, and it runs through December 5. Tickets $37, $34 for seniors, military, and students.
Friday, November 13 – Sunday, November 15 — Bill Batson’s Holiday Gift Pop-Up Market, 2 S Broadway (next to Pickwick Books). Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 11 a.m.–7 p.m. The market returns for a third year with local small businesses including Bill Batson Arts, Deivi Handcrafters, Global Local Finds, Karen Close Ceramics, Marisol Lisa Medoff Design, Nick Duke Media, Rebecca’s Paradise, and Sweetheart Vintage. It runs weekends through December 24, so this is the first weekend to start holiday shopping without leaving the village.
Saturday, November 14, 1–3 p.m. — Family Day Artmaking, Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center. A free afternoon of artmaking inspired by Hopper’s House by the Railroad, painted 100 years ago in 1925. Stay all afternoon or drop by for a bit. RSVP recommended.

Refreshments from Rosina’s Winery and La Talaye. Useful if you’re new to Nyack, work locally, or run a small business.
Wednesday, November 18, 7:30 p.m. — We Met at Grossinger’s, Nyack Center, 58 Depew Ave. Rivertown Film screens Paula Eiselt’s 2026 documentary (104 minutes), followed by a discussion led by local writer and editor Ellyn Hament. Bring a Grossinger’s memory to share in under five minutes.
One practical note from the Village this week: free parking will be available in Village municipal parking lots on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays beginning Friday, November 27, throughout the holiday season. That applies to municipal lots only — on-street parking will still require payment.
That’s the pitch, in a week: art, theatre, film, shopping, and neighbours — all in downtown Nyack.
