Looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift — or planning a full shopping day out with Mom? Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, NY is one of the best destinations in the Northeast for designer gifts at outlet prices, with 250+ stores offering savings up to 65% off retail. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of Mother’s Day shopping at Woodbury Common.
Why Woodbury Common Is Perfect for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May — and Woodbury Common is in full spring swing by then. The weather is usually gorgeous, the outlet is beautifully landscaped, and dozens of stores run special promotions in the weeks leading up to the holiday. Whether you’re looking for a designer handbag, luxury fragrance, silk scarf, or a complete spring wardrobe refresh, you’ll find it here — at a fraction of department store prices.
We’ve visited Woodbury Common around Mother’s Day multiple times, and it’s genuinely one of the best times of year to go. Crowds are lighter than peak summer, the weather cooperates, and stores like Kate Spade, Coach, Tory Burch, and Michael Kors tend to have fresh spring inventory on the floor.
Mother’s Day Hours at Woodbury Common
Woodbury Common is open on Mother’s Day. The outlet typically runs its standard spring hours around the holiday, though some stores may adjust their individual schedules. Here’s what to expect:
- Mother’s Day (Sunday): 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM (standard Sunday hours)
- Saturday before Mother’s Day: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
- Weekdays leading up: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Mon–Thu)
Pro tip: Saturday before Mother’s Day is typically busier than the Sunday itself. If you want to avoid peak crowds, go on the Friday before — parking is easy and store staff have more time for you. Check our full hours guide for the most up-to-date times.
Mother’s Day Sales & Deals to Expect
While Woodbury Common doesn’t run a single outlet-wide “Mother’s Day Sale” event like Black Friday, many individual stores launch their own promotions in the two weeks surrounding the holiday. Based on patterns from previous years, here’s what typically happens:
- Kate Spade Outlet: Often runs an extra 20–30% off select styles in early May, with gift-ready accessories front and center
- Coach Factory Outlet: Typically promotes handbags and wallets with “gift with purchase” deals around Mother’s Day
- Tory Burch Outlet: Spring sale usually overlaps with the Mother’s Day period — great for sandals, totes, and accessories
- Michael Kors Outlet: Frequently offers site-wide percentage discounts in May, including on crossbodies and watches
- Bloomingdale’s The Outlet & Saks OFF 5TH: Both run seasonal clearance events in May with strong gift category options
- Le Creuset Outlet: Surprisingly popular for Mother’s Day — cookware sets and colorful accessories make great gifts
In 2025, several stores at Woodbury Common ran promotions timed to the Mother’s Day weekend (May 10–11), with deals running from early May through Memorial Day weekend (May 23–26). We expect similar patterns in 2026, with Mother’s Day falling on May 10, 2026.

How to Get to Woodbury Common for Mother’s Day
If you’re coming from New York City, the easiest option is the direct bus from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. Short Line and Trailways both operate regular services to Woodbury Common — no car needed. The ride takes around 1.5 hours and drops you right at the outlet entrance.
Around Mother’s Day weekend, the buses can fill up fast — especially on Saturday. Book your tickets in advance if you’re traveling on May 9 or 10. Check our complete transportation guide for schedules, ticket prices, and tips on how to get the bus from NYC to Woodbury Common.
Driving? The outlet is about 50 miles north of Midtown via the I-87 (New York State Thruway). Parking is free and plentiful — though on Mother’s Day weekend Saturday, arrive before 10:30 AM or after 3:00 PM to avoid the mid-day crunch. Use our outlet map to plan your route through the complex.

- Download the Simon app — some stores offer app-exclusive offers during holiday periods
- Pick up a VIP coupon book — available at the Welcome Center (Building A) with additional store discounts
- Start with luxury stores early — Gucci, Prada, and Saint Laurent have limited stock. Get there right at opening (10 AM) for best selection
