As we turn the calendar to October, one would think the topic of conversation would be Halloween.

However, there's a lot of discussion going on right now about the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. They usually announce where the tree is coming from in early October.

One Hudson Valley town says they have some big Rockefeller Center news.

Town of Beekman Teases Big Rockefeller Center Announcement

On September 30th, 2026, The Town of Beekman took to their social media page to share some exciting news.

In the statement they write "We have a very special celebration coming up, and we can’t wait to share more details with you!"

From there the Town of Beekman adds this fun little tidbit:

Many took that piece of information and assumed that it meant the 2026 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree was from the Town of Beekman.
