Good Morning America selected 5 towns in the United States for their "Light Up
The Holidays Special" and we were chosen!
Debbie Macomber, NY Times best selling author who has appeared on every best
seller list and sold over 60 million copies of her book has a picture of our
village on the cover of her latest Christmas book and the story takes place in
Leavenworth. She says Leavenworth is "my all-time favorite Christmas town"
Come see what the fuss is all about--come enjoy the holiday magic!
CHRISTMAS LIGHTING FESTIVAL
Visitors come back year after year for this famous Leavenworth festival. Fridays
the town is in darkness awaiting Saturday’s Lighting festivities – everyone
gathers at the Gazebo to greet Saint Nicholas.
On Saturday and Sunday the aroma of food booths and roasting chestnuts fills
the air; holiday music from the gazebo encircles the village while youngsters
sled in the park; holiday personalities stroll the streets; Santa, St. Nick and
Father Christmas provide photo opportunities and sleigh rides are minutes away.
At dusk everyone gathers to sing “Silent Night” and witness the lighting of
the village and park as they are transformed into a magical wonderland of
lights.
