St Cloud's Weihnachtsmarkt 10th Anniversary

(during and after the parade)

Come on Downtown (5th Avenue - Under the Festoon Lights!) for Christmas Tree lighting, heated tents, plenty of traditional German food and drink such as Gluhwein, which is a warm, spiced wine, and Christmas cookies, Lebkuchen, which is like a gingerbread and, plenty of bratwurst and sauerkraut.

Beaver Island Beer & Hot chocolate will also be available to keep people warm on what's likely to be a pretty cold night.

There will be plenty of portable and standing heaters to keep the crowd warm at the event.

City of Lights Celebration & Holiday Fireworks

Nisswa is the place to be the day after Thanksgiving! While others are thinking about the hustle and bustle of Black Friday shopping, the Nisswa downtown is creating a Norman Rockwell scene. Festivities for the annual event begin in the afternoon with wagon rides, storytelling, food vendors, bonfires, Polar Express story reading in the historic caboose, holiday carolers and live reindeer. Pioneer Village is the setting for the live nativity, and Love Lights a Tree program, which supports Good Samaritan Society's Home Hospice program.

Cinderella

You're invited to a beautiful Victorian Holiday party - but be prepared to check your coat, and all sense of tradition, at the door. You have NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO HERE. Join this high-spectacle, glamorously shameless comedy where anything can happen. We're really not supposed to say, but there may be audience participation: a kiss cam? Cake? T-shirt cannons? Jokes ripped from the headlines? (Vikings fans, you have been warned!) Immerse yourself in singing the pop songs you love and have fun laughing at the things we can all relate to.
