Christmas Fun In West Virginia
What are some of the best Christmas towns in West Virginia?
This list of the top 12 Christmas towns in West Virginia will get you started. Here are a few to consider.
- Harpers Ferry: This historic town brings Christmas around the old-fashioned way with the annual Harpers Ferry & Bolivar Olde Tyme Christmas event on the first and second weekends of December. The trip back through time allows for fun holiday activities, including children's activities, live entertainment, a Handmade Holiday Market, and a meeting with Santa and Mrs. Claus. But the brightest part of this experience is the lavishly decorated homes and streets, sure to warm your heart this Christmas season.
- Huntington: Visit Heritage Farm all decked out for the holidays. See the historic village trimmed with lights, visit Santa, and listen to Christmas music as you stroll through. Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts from Heritage Farm artisans, and decorate cookies. And if none of that lifts your heart, take a wagon ride with jingle bells and watch the spirit of Christmas unfold with a magical live nativity scene.
- Bramwell: One reason to visit this lovely town is to see the historic homes dressed up for the season. Take a holiday tour of beautiful Victorian homes on the Bramwell Christmas Tour of Homes held the second Saturday of December. Get into the spirit with costumed historic interpreters guiding folks through the historic houses.
- Shepherdstown: Kick off the holiday season with a traditional parade and the excitement of Santa waving at the crowd. A Christmas tree lighting is another part of the tradition, and month-long events include caroling, delicious food, and of course, shopping in the many small boutiques. Attend a live performance of some classic holiday tales, and speaking of shopping, don't forget the annual Handmade Christmas in Shepherdstown that takes place in the War Memorial Building. You'll find high-quality handmade gifts and support local artisans with your purchases.
