Celebration
Every year, Hofstra celebrates its
Annual Sinterklaas Festival with a tree lighting ceremony. Hofstra’s tree is one of the largest living Christmas trees on Long Island. Following the ceremony, all members of the campus community are invited to visit the
Dutch Holiday Village. The Village resembles a quaint street in a Dutch Christmas town. Both Santa Claus and his Dutch counterpart, Sinterklaas, provide a hearty welcome. Students also attend the Dutch, Irish and Italian Experience Festivals.
