 ChristmasTreeTake the kids to see Santa in his workshop. Sample a freshly roasted chestnut from a street vendor.

 View the spectacularly decorated Christmas trees in the Chamber building at the Festival of Trees. See the Garden Train and Department 56 display at the First Iowa State bank.

 Munch on a bag of kettle corn. And definitely take a look and see what Albia Merchants and Restaurateurs’ have to offer.

 During the day there are several events to attend such as breakfast with Santa, A Christmas Craft Show and a Kids movie with Santa. See the back of the brochure for more details.

 And please take in the joy and warmth of the holiday season and have a prosperous New Year.

 Take a horse drawn carriage ride around the square. Take in the beautiful Christmas lighting that adorns the 92 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well as the lights on the courthouse trees.

.

 Warm yourself in one of three hospitality centers with a cup of hot cocoa and a home baked cookie located in each of the two community banks and in the courthouse.

“The Stroll”
Downtown Business District
6:00 -8:00 pm

 Come take a step back in time and experience the Christmas season at our annual Victorian Stroll

 More than 40 storefronts come alive with living Christmas cards. Each window depicts a different scene. Past years have shown. . .Scrooge counting every last penny. . .a grandmother donned in her night cap reading “The Night before Christmas” to her grandchild as she rocks the child to sleep…and the little matchstick girl striking each match desperately trying to stay warm.

 In addition to the live window scenes there is so much more to see and do. Listen to the many carolers sing in the streets, Courthouse and in some of the businesses.
