Festival organizers have been busy bringing their imaginations to life through the creation of what we believe to be some pretty spectacular, memory-making moments at ChristmasVille 2023! With so many events, workshops, and community-coordinated activities taking place, we’re having to incorporate them onto the site periodically, so what you see is just a glimpse into all that we have in store for ChristmasVille 2023!
Come inside one of Santa’s favorite shopping spots and leave him a note at our official North Pole Mail Box. Kids of all ages are welcome to come in and write a letter or drop one off. We’ll make sure Santa gets it!

If you’ve ever attended ChristmasVille, you know there are a TON of fun and memorable things to do and see throughout the festival. What you may not have realized is that many of them are coordinated by local organizations and businesses. Community-coordinated activities taking place in Old Town during the 4-day festival are submitted each year for consideration in being approved and marketed as officially sanctioned activities during ChristmasVille. No funding or coordination is provided by ChristmasVille; however, activities are promoted on the festival’s website and corresponding literature.
Note: Approved, officially sanctioned activities are not to include the ChristmasVille name in their event title in an effort to protect ChristmasVille sponsors and respect the regulations of the trademark. Proper language will be provided for promotional purposes.
