Cedarburg and the Holiday Season
Interested in taking a drive to the Historic Cedarburg area during the Holiday Season? There are many reasons to travel to Cedarburg, especially during the holiday seasons. Leading up to Christmas there are many fun and exciting activities taking place in Cedarburg, concerts, art shows, tree lighting, holiday shopping. To view all activities of interest, please make sure to visit: www.cedarburg.org or www.cedarburgculturalcenter.org
I had the opportunity, a couple weeks ago, to attend a preview at the wonderfully renovated Rivoli in downtown Cedarburg. The television show, “Discover Wisconsin” had visited Cedarburg several times and had completed taping an episode for TV. It was televised two weekends ago, Nov. 6-7th, and you can still get information about it at www.discoverwisconsin.com. You can also acquire DVD’s from the Cedarburg Visitor Center and Chamber of Commerce. It was a fantastic overview of the history of Cedarburg, the buildings, the community and the activities that occur throughout the year.
What is coming up in Cedarburg? Well, one of the activities that we partake in every year is the Festive Friday Eves.. What is that you ask? Well, starting Friday, November 20th and then for every Friday thru Dec. 18th, Cedarburg comes alive with the Holiday Spirit. Stores stay open later, there are activities for children and adults, music, Santa, and treats along the way.
An example of what takes place on a Festive Friday? The first Friday, November 20th is titled:”Christmas in the Highlands,” and it focuses on the traditions of Scotland and England. There will be music, dancers, Father Christmas and treats at the Cedar Creek Settlement. For a list of the Festive Fridays, visit www.cedarburg.org and click on Events Calendar, scroll to Festive Friday Eves and right click. It will provide contact information and a list of what is happening each Friday night. Don’t forget if you need a stocking stuffer for St. Nick’s or Christmas, or a gift for a friend or special individual, to check out the many fine stores that line the downtown area or the candy/chocolate shops that include well decorated (and edible!) caramel apples, toffee, fairy food, nuts, etc.
Make sure to also save time to visit Cedarburg for the Artist’s Guild Holiday Art Show (December 4th and 5th), Christmas in the Country (December 4th-6th) and the Winter Garden Holiday Show (December 4th-5th).
Where ever you go, whatever you do, may you and your family and friends have a great Holiday Season!
