These events bring locals and visitors alike together in the name of the holiday spirit, and whether you’re traveling with young children or you’re simply young at heart, you’re bound to find options on the event agenda that delight.
In 2024, Traditional Christmas in Stowe will run from December 6 through 8 and will once again be a collection of events you won’t want to miss if you’re longing to be part of the official kick-off to the holidays. This time-honored festival has long been recognized by its excellence by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, and this year is shaping up to be equally impressive. Traditional Christmas in Stowe includes a children’s lantern parade for guests to attend, fun holiday wagon rides to enjoy, and a robust holiday bazaar to visit if you happen to have some last-minute gifts you need to check off your list. Kids are invited to enjoy meet-and-greets with Santa and Mrs. Claus during Traditional Christmas in Stowe, and there’s plenty of great holiday music to go around.
