THOMPSON — The holidays are just around the corner, and the Town of Thompson is once again inviting local families to kick off the season with a memorable trip to New York City. The Town's popular Youth Program is offering a special bus trip to see the world-famous Radio City Christmas Spectacular, starring the iconic Rockettes, on Sunday, November 22nd.

Best of all, Town of Thompson youth ages 18 and under attend FREE with a paying adult. Adult tickets are $150, including bus transportation and admission to the show. This year, Thompson is also offering a waitlist for those residing outside Thompson. Families are encouraged to register now to secure their spots for this festive holiday tradition.

"This trip is one of those special experiences that families remember for years to come," said Town of Thompson Supervisor Scott Mace. "We're proud to make an iconic New York City holiday tradition more accessible to local children and families. We encourage Thompson residents to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity."

NEW This Year: Waitlist Open to Non-Residents

While registration is reserved for Town of Thompson residents, the Town is introducing a new waitlist opportunity for non-residents this year. Families who live outside Thompson and are interested in attending can now join the waitlist for potential openings.

The bus departs promptly from Thompson Town Hall at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, November 22nd, returning at approximately 6 p.m. All children must be accompanied by a paying adult. A maximum of three children per adult is permitted, with no more than one adult per child.

Don't wait...last year's trip sold out! Thompson residents are encouraged to register as soon as possible, while interested non-residents can inquire about joining this year's new waitlist. The trip is sponsored by the Town of Thompson Parks and Recreation Department, with funding from the County of Sullivan and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services through the Sullivan County Youth Bureau.
