The First-Annual Jingle Bell Dash

All new for 2024, BGHV and the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center have partnered to present the Hudson Valley’s first-annual Jingle Bell Dash in Uptown Kingston on Saturday, December 7th at 9am.

Inspired by events like Provincetown’s Jingle Bell Run (pictured) and Albany’s Santa Speedo Sprint, attendees are encouraged to strip down – or dress up – in their own creative and festive holiday looks for this fun run through the streets of Kingston to raise funds in support of the youth programs of the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center.

Too shy to run? Join us as a spectator that morning to cheer on the participants! Spectators are encouraged to dress in their holiday finest and gather along the route and cheer on those dashing through Uptown Kingston.

Prizes will be given for the best Jingle Bell Dash looks!
