Join the Hanover Historical Society at the historic pedestrian bridge in downtown Hanover as they revive a Victorian community Christmas past. This family-friendly event is free as a gift to the community. Area church and school choirs/groups will lift us into a festive spirit with their lively renditions of familiar songs and carols, interacting with audience sing-a-longs. Everyone enjoys hot cider and cookies around crackling bonfires. Bring your cameras for instant memories of your child bundled up in an authentic one-horse open sleigh, and meet one-on-one with Old St. Nick. NEW this year- LLAMAS! Llamas will be visiting the bridge for fun festive photo ops!

Join the Albertville Lions for their 8th annual Christmas in the Park event at Albertville Central Park. There will be cider and cocoa, s'mores, caroling, horse-drawn wagon rides, and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
