Be transported to a cozy European holiday market this Christmas season in beautiful, historic Old Town Winchester, Virginia! A village of traditional European food and crafts vendors will be at the heart of the Old Town pedestrian mall, and our many shops will be fully decked out for the holidays and offering specials for shoppers young and old.
On Friday, December 8th enjoy a grown-up good time with a 12 Days of Christmas restaurant crawl in the evening to benefit Froggy’s Closet.
Then on Saturday, December 9th bring out the whole family to enjoy a tented Santa’s Village area with Santa, elves, crafts, and even an appearance by the grinch! Then take a horse and carriage ride in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy the beautiful Old Town lights and displays. Carriage rides will be complimentary and first-come first served and handled by the carriage company staff.
There will be live caroling and music, demonstrative vendors, and you can grab a warm serving of gluhwein from a participating restaurant and carry it with you as you shop. This will be an open-air market and will be free for everyone to attend!
