We were happy to participate this year and would like to thank those that bid on the trees. You can see our tree online and see this years photos from the festival . The City of Fredericksburg holds it's annual Christmas tree lighting downtown near the courthouse. This little known ceremony has been gaining popularity every year, is a good time for all. This years crowd approached numbers over to 500 people.
Elves are in the crowd passing out holiday cheer and candy canes.
Santa Claus can be seen out and about town in the weeks before Christmas. This year, SimplyFredericksburg was invited to meet with Santa before the tree lighting. We took many photos of this momentous occasion . As you are walking down the streets of Olde Towne on the weekends approaching Christmas and you will hear live concerts being given at some of the local music stores. Every year, a group of area residents open their doors to guest for what is called the Candlelight Tour.
