Walter Jones Historical Park
December 2023


After a two-year absence due to COVID restrictions, we were happy to be back in 2022! Please check in later in the year for information on the 2023 celebration.


This annual free event has become a family tradition for many and is well known for opportunities to learn about some exciting local history, enjoy good music, connect with local non-profit organizations, authors, and artists, and just have some plain old-fashioned fun.

Past celebrations have included:

  • Santa and Mrs. Claus
  • Trackless train
  • Historic reenactors
  • Meet the Maple Leaf divers
  • Arts demonstrations
  • Live music
  • Book signings with local authors
  • Crafts and games for kids
  • S’mores
  • Non-profits sharing information and opportunities
  • Food vendors
