Rockland County keeps one central calendar, posted at rocklandcountyny.gov, but it only covers county government's own meetings and programs. Ramapo, Haverstraw, Orangetown, and Stony Point each publish their town's meetings and events separately, and no two towns do it quite the same way. Knowing which channel a town uses is the fastest way to find out what's actually happening near you.
That patchwork isn't unusual for a county built out of five towns and dozens of villages, each with its own government website and its own IT setup. But it does mean a resident who wants the full picture — a county health seminar, a Ramapo zoning hearing, a Haverstraw concert, an Orangetown ceremony, a Stony Point board meeting — has to know where to look for each one separately, because no single page pulls them together.
What does the county's own calendar cover?
The county's calendar, at rocklandcountyny.gov/government/county-calendar, lists meetings and programs run by county departments rather than town events. In late August 2026 it showed a STOP-DWI Victims Impact Panel on August 11 at 5:45 p.m., an Office for the Aging Lunch and Learn session on August 18 at 11:30 a.m., a Board of Electrical Examiners meeting the same day at 4 p.m., a Harmful Algal Blooms discussion and a Parkinson's Disease seminar both on August 19, and a Spanish-language Victims Impact Panel on August 25.
Those are county-level items, not town ones — advisory council meetings, health talks, and public-safety programs run out of county departments like the Office for the Aging and Environmental Resources. A resident looking for a town board vote or a village festival won't find it here; that has to come from the individual town's own site.
How does Ramapo share its meetings?
The Town of Ramapo runs a dedicated calendar page, at ramapo.gov/page/calendar-8.html, linked from its homepage. It displays an interactive monthly grid with direct links to individual meeting listings for the Town Board, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Community Design Review Committee.
Ramapo also keeps a separate Agendas and Minutes page for the documents tied to those meetings, and the town notes that some sessions are available to view on Zoom. Of the towns checked for this piece, Ramapo's is the most centralized single calendar — one page, one monthly grid, with links out to each meeting's own listing.
Where does Haverstraw post what's happening?
The Town of Haverstraw doesn't run one central events calendar. Instead, its site points residents toward a PDF newsletter, a Nixle text and email alert system, and separate flyers for specific programs — a summer concert schedule and a summer fitness schedule were both posted as standalone PDF documents rather than calendar entries.
Town Board agendas and minutes are posted on their own page. For anyone who wants Haverstraw news without hunting through PDFs, the Town of Haverstraw's site lists a direct phone line to Town Hall for event information. Signing up for Nixle alerts is likely the fastest way to stay current without checking the site repeatedly.
What's different about Orangetown's approach?
Orangetown's homepage highlights events as image-based flyers rather than as calendar text — a practice worth knowing before you go looking for details. A flyer for the town's 2026 September 11th ceremonies, for instance, appears as a graphic rather than as searchable text, so the date and location aren't readable without opening the image itself.
The same homepage lists an Orangetown Night at Clover (Boulder) Stadium, with free vouchers available through the Supervisor's Office, and mentions a Pearl River Farmers Market. For specifics on any flyer-based listing, Orangetown's site directs residents to email the Supervisor's Office directly or call the office's listed line — a reminder that a picture on a homepage isn't always searchable the way plain text is.
How does Stony Point keep residents in the loop?
Stony Point's homepage carries an upcoming-events section listing near-term meetings — a Planning Board meeting on August 27 and a Town Board meeting on September 8 were both posted there — with a dedicated calendar page linked at stonypointny.gov/calendar.
The town also runs a news section for headline updates, a Stony Point Dispatch newsletter, and a recreation department page covering camp and program listings. Between the homepage snapshot and the fuller calendar page, it's one of the more layered setups among the towns checked, giving residents both a quick glance and a deeper archive.
Why isn't there one calendar for all of Rockland?
Each of Rockland's towns runs its own government website, independent of the county and of each other, and each has made its own choice about how to publish events — a calendar plugin, a PDF newsletter, an image flyer, or some mix. The county's calendar was never built to aggregate town-level listings, only its own department programs.
For now, that means checking more than one site if you want the full picture. A short routine helps:
- Check the county calendar for county-run programs, panels, and advisory board meetings that affect the whole county.
- Bookmark your own town's page — Ramapo's calendar grid, Haverstraw's newsletter and Nixle sign-up, Orangetown's flyer section, or Stony Point's upcoming-events list and calendar page.
- Sign up for whatever alert system your town offers, since several rely on email or text notices rather than a page you'd have to remember to revisit.
- When a listing is a flyer or a PDF rather than plain text, call or email the office named on it if the date, time, or location isn't legible.
None of that consolidates Rockland's towns into one feed. But it does turn five different systems into a short, repeatable checklist for anyone who wants to know what's happening closer to home.
