Since its debut in 1972, Demopolis, Alabama's Christmas on the River has grown into one of the Southeast's leading attractions.
People travel from coast to coast to see the floats that really float.
Each year, events have been added until Christmas on the River has developed into a week long festival. This year, our festival takes place from Sunday, November 25th until Saturday, December 1st. This week will begin with a children's program, a Singing Santa, and the lighting of the love trees. As in years past, we will devote one evening to the live nativity scene, the candlelight tours of our antebellum homes, and the famous championship BBQ cook-off. The week will end on Saturday with an arts and crafts show, a children's day parade, and our traditional nighttime nautical parade and fireworks extravaganza.
