Be transported to a cozy European holiday market this Christmas season in beautiful, historic Old Town Winchester, Virginia! A village of traditional European food and crafts vendors will be at the heart of the Old Town pedestrian mall, and our many shops will be fully decked out for the holidays and offering specials for shoppers young and old.

On Friday, December 8th enjoy a grown-up good time with the Second Annual Santa Crawl in the evening to benefit Froggy’s Closet.

Then on Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th bring out the whole family to enjoy a tented Santa’s Village area with Santa, elves, crafts, and even an appearance by the Grinch!

Then take a complimentary horse-drawn wagon ride from Shenandoah Carriage Company on Saturday between 3-6pm to enjoy the beautiful Old Town lights and displays.

Horse-drawn wagon rides will be complimentary and first-come first served and handled by the carriage company staff.

There will be live caroling and music, demonstrative vendors, and you can grab a warm serving of gluhwein, a traditional hot mulled spiced red wine, from a participating restaurant and carry it with you as you shop. Several restaurants will also be offering kinderpunch, a warm spiced cider just for kids!

If you know of someone who needs a special message of hope, good wish or prayer, stop by our Wishing Tree area near the Godfrey Miller home and write out a wish for them and place it on the tree.

This will be an open-air market and will be free for everyone to attend!
