Thank You
TO OUR PRESENTING SPONSOR!
Your generous support helps make this Christmas tradition possible.
Create Your Chapter in the Christmas Story
Every corner of Main Street holds a different part of the story — a visit with Santa, a story from Mrs. Claus, a letter sent with hope, a parade of lights, classic cars, local makers, and wreaths placed in memory of someone dear.

A quiet smile, a whispered wish, and a Christmas memory your family can carry home.
Story Time with Mrs. Claus

The Tradition
The Parade
Cruisin’ Under the Lights — bands playing, dancers moving, floats glowing, and a procession of community, craft, and Christmas rolling through the heart of downtown.
The Car Show
Cruisin Into Christmas — Classic cars lovingly restored and some boldly reimagined — holiday cheer and memories parked right in the center of town, a Southern tradition of mechanical folk art on full display.
Holiday Market
From the first bite to the last find — food vendors, local artisans, and makers from near and far filling downtown with the flavors and crafts for the season.
Tribute Wreath Wall
A majestic, living display of memories — each wreath a name, a story, a light kept burning in honor of someone dear, woven together into the heart of the Christmas story.
