A Guide to Christmas Events in Harrisonburg & Beyond
There are two major holiday events that take place in downtown Harrisonburg. The first is Winter Wonderfest, which takes place at the beginning of December. During this free event, you can vote on gingerbread houses, go for carriage rides, and get your photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Another popular event is the holiday parade, which also takes place at the beginning of December. The parade kicks off at the Rockingham County Office and travels down Main Street to City Hall. After the parade, head to Court Square for the annual tree-lighting ceremony.
