Celebrate the ART of Christmas at Lake City's Hometown Holidays Festival, December 4–6!

The magic of Christmas is coming to Downtown Lake City! From December 4–6, the heart of our charming downtown will transform into a festive wonderland for Hometown Holidays, a three-day Christmas celebration filled with twinkling lights, holiday traditions, live entertainment, shopping, and plenty of Christmas cheer for the entire family!

The festivities kick off Friday evening with our spectacular After Dark Christmas Parade, where brightly lit floats and festive entries will illuminate Main Street before leading into the community's beloved Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. It's the perfect way to welcome the holiday season!

Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy more than 40 holiday-themed activities and experiences hosted by local businesses and organizations. From visits with Santa and his merry friends to festive crafts, seasonal treats, and unique shopping experiences, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Looking for a little holiday fun for the grown-ups? Sip your way through downtown during our annual Wine Stroll, enjoy live music and dance performances, or treat yourself to a delicious meal at one of Lake City's local restaurants. Our downtown shops and businesses will be dressed in their holiday best, making it the perfect opportunity to shop local, find one-of-a-kind gifts, and soak up the magic of the season.

And don't let the holiday fun end there! Don't miss the Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, December 6, from 1–7 PM! Hosted by the Lake City Junior Sorosis Club, this beloved holiday tradition invites guests to explore beautifully decorated homes and unique spaces throughout the Lake City area, each filled with its own Christmas charm. Tickers are $30 in advance or $35 day of the tour. Get your tickets now by clicking HERE and make this festive experience part of your holiday weekend!

Whether you're continuing a favorite family tradition or discovering Lake City for the first time, Hometown Holidays is the perfect place to make lasting Christmas memories.

So gather your family, invite your friends, and join us December 4–6 as we celebrate the ART of Christmas in Downtown Lake City! 🎄✨
