This year, make the holidays extra special for the entire family, by planning a trip to magical Brown County. Christmas in Brown County features a variety of old-fashioned delights. The quaint Village of Nashville twinkles with holiday lights. Festive songs fill the air from carolers decked out in Victorian costumes. Artisan galleries, craft studios, shops, and boutiques beckon shoppers. Board the Little Nashville Express Train for a fun and free ride, and discover picturesque photo opportunities throughout town.

The special Christmas in Brown County Kick-Off Weekend is November 29 – December 1 and includes visits with Santa and his elves, strolling carolers, free rides on the Little Nashville Express Train, a live nativity scene, and more! On November 29, help us welcome Santa to town at the Visitors Center Holiday Open House located on the Visitors Center Patio, where we'll celebrate with hot chocolate, cookies, caroling and the official lighting of Santa's tree.

Fun holiday activities happen every weekend. From face painting with Santa, a Christmas Light Parade, and extraordinary gingerbread creations to holiday shows, sing-a-longs and victorian candlelight dinners, you're sure to find a unique and fun activity for everyone in the family!
