Mid Nov - Downtown Ashley

Come and visit the Village of Ashley's Country Christmas celebrationStarting the weekend before Thanksgiving, November 18th & 19th, 2023,  the village will be transformed into an old fashioned Country Christmas.  Stroll the streets and enjoy the beautiful 1940's inspired decorations.  See the big Christmas tree, take a horse drawn wagon ride, watch a juggler or visit the hobo camp.  To make a wonderful Christmas memory bring your own bell to add to our Believe tree.

When you're hungry stop into the North Pole Express Cafe for a light meal. Ride the North Pole Express into town or come and watch the big train arrive.  Visit Santa, see his reindeer and make a toy at Santa's workshop.  Enjoy the sights and sounds of an old fashioned Christmas in the Village of Ashley.
