The first Saturday in December, our sweet village transforms into a wonderland where people from all over the valley come together to celebrate the beginning of the giving season.
Anchoring our festival is our specially-curated Boogie Woogie Holiday Band comprised of top local musicians and vocalists who perform high-energy, holiday music featuring swinging beats and blues-inspired grooves.
