Visitors come back year after year for this famous Leavenworth festival. On Saturdays and Sundays everyone gathers at the gazebo at dusk to greet Saint Nicholas.  On both days you can enjoy roasting chestnuts, holiday music from the gazebo while youngsters sled in the park; holiday personalities stroll the street.  Sleigh rides are minutes away.  At dusk everyone gathers to sing "Silent Night" and witness the lighting of the village and park and they are transformed into a magic wonderland of lights.

Come see why "Good Morning America Lights up the Holidays" made its second stop in the ultimate Christmas village in Leavenworth, Wash. November 29, 2007, and why the Travel Channel and Home and Garden TV came to feature our 2007 festival which aired in 2008.
