Valdosta Main Street’s Holiday Open House on Dec. 1 will showcase the unique and magical fun and flare of Downtown Valdosta. Beginning at 8:30 a.m. with the first of three breakfast events with Santa, and ending with the traditional Greater Valdosta Community Christmas Parade, the Holiday Open House will once again have something for Valdostans of all ages.
The 2012 event planning committee decided this year to eliminate the vendors that have offered food and crafts around the historic Lowndes County Courthouse lawn in past years, and instead, focus on drawing visitors into the one-of-a-kind restaurants and specialty shops located in the downtown area.
Like other areas, we have seen a reduction in the number of vendors participating in festivals. This gives us a great opportunity to continue to focus on the variety of goods and services offered by our unique downtown businesses,” said Valdosta Main Street Manager Amanda Peacock. “Main Street invites our faithful patrons, as well as all area visitors, and their families to celebrate this festive time of year with us.”
Downtown Merchants will be participating in a Window Decorating Contest. Winners will be selected by the Christmas parade judges and announced during the Christmas parade.
