Christmas in Excelsior

About

Christmas in Excelsior is a magical time. Trees adorned with white lights, old fashion lamp poles entwined with evergreens and holly, snow-covered streets filled with bustling shoppers, adoring the quintessential small-town holiday experience. This is a tradition both community members and businesses have come to anticipate with the first chill in the air.

Christmas in Excelsior is a month-long series of events kicking off with Small Business Saturday, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, followed by the tree-lighting, carolers, hot cocoa, Santa visits, and sleigh rides the first weekend in December. Festivities continue each weekend til Christmas.

Come enjoy our community, local shops, restaurants and holiday spirit!
