About

The Friends of Christmas formed as a small group of community members who believe Alexandria is an amazing community, and who shared a dream of having more community gathering opportunities surrounding the Christmas holiday. Our vision was to create a “Hallmark-style" Christmas in Alexandria!

Christmas in the Fort and the Downtown Lighting Ceremony put on by the Runestone Museum Foundation is a long-standing tradition in our area that attracts many people. We wanted to build upon that great event and add even more Christmas options. Now following the lighting ceremony on the 200 block of Broadway Street at 5:15 on Black Friday is the annual "Lights on Broadway" Holiday Lighted Parade. More than 50 lighted floats travel south on Broadway starting at 5:30pm. Another addition to the activities is the "Garden of Lights" walking light tour through the Legacy of the Lakes Gardens. The lights are on in the gardens from the Friday following Thanksgiving until the last Sunday in December. The hours are Thurs-Sat 5:00-8:00pm and Sundays 5:00pm-7:00pm.
