This beloved holiday tradition brings families, friends, and neighbors together for an evening filled with festive sights, sounds, and seasonal fun. This event highlights local talent from the main stage at the Frank and Sue Jones Amphitheatre. No parking concerns here! There will be a trolly from the Government Center on hwy 321 that will bring you right to center of all the activities. New this year a “farmers vendor market” with several of our farmers returning for this one-night event.
Visitors are encouraged to stroll the beautifully decorated downtown streets, enjoy holiday music, watch maidens dance, toast s’mores over the fire, and explore a variety of kid-friendly activities and community booths. This year’s event will feature a wide range of attractions and local organizations offering games, giveaways, and interactive fun for all ages.
