SUMMARY:Afton Village Holiday: Holiday Wrap Up
DESCRIPTION:The Afton Village Holiday is a truly immersive experience. Our historic town is transformed into a winter wonderland\, alive with music\, laughter and light. At its heart\, the event is about community connection\, small-town warmth and the timeless traditions that bring us together during the holidays. \nAfton is magical year-round\, but the holidays take that charm to another level. The historic village is adorned with garlands\, wreaths\, bows and holiday decorations. Our vintage-inspired streetlamps cast a soft\, ambient glow as dusk falls\, guiding visitors through the village like something out of a holiday movie. \nAs you walk the streets\, you’ll hear the gentle rhythm of horse-drawn wagons\, the voices of carolers\, the crackle of firewood and the laughter of children. Each shop\, restaurant and corner invites you in to discover something delightful—whether it’s a warm drink\, a beautiful handmade gift or a friendly conversation. \nThere’s a true sense of belonging here. Even visitors who are new to Afton often tell us they feel like they’ve stepped into a holiday storybook\, a simpler\, slower\, more meaningful version of the holidays. And that’s exactly the kind of feeling we hope to create.

SUMMARY:Afton Village Holiday: Merry and Bright
DESCRIPTION:The Afton Village Holiday is a truly immersive experience. Our historic town is transformed into a winter wonderland\, alive with music\, laughter and light. At its heart\, the event is about community connection\, small-town warmth and the timeless traditions that bring us together during the holidays. \nAfton is magical year-round\, but the holidays take that charm to another level. The historic village is adorned with garlands\, wreaths\, bows and holiday decorations. Our vintage-inspired streetlamps cast a soft\, ambient glow as dusk falls\, guiding visitors through the village like something out of a holiday movie. \nAs you walk the streets\, you’ll hear the gentle rhythm of horse-drawn wagons\, the voices of carolers\, the crackle of firewood and the laughter of children. Each shop\, restaurant and corner invites you in to discover something delightful—whether it’s a warm drink\, a beautiful handmade gift or a friendly conversation. \nThere’s a true sense of belonging here. Even visitors who are new to Afton often tell us they feel like they’ve stepped into a holiday storybook\, a simpler\, slower\, more meaningful version of the holidays. And that’s exactly the kind of feeling we hope to create.

SUMMARY:Haunted History Trolley Tour
DESCRIPTION:On a dark and eerie evening\, you leisurely board your trolley to tour one of the oldest cities in Minnesota. But this tour goes downhill quickly when uninvited characters begin boarding. Traveling to areas of Stillwater’s haunted past\, ghosts wander onto the trolley bringing these stories to life—creepy characters telling their own true horror stories of Stillwater long ago. \nCome early and stay late. There is a VIP lounge upstairs at the River Siren Brewery for trolley guests to enjoy the festivities. \nWhile you are waiting for your theatrical trolley tour you can enjoy old black & white horror movies\, have a complimentary beer\, seltzer or soda\, go on the scavenger hunt for prizes\, or step outside to roast a marshmallow over the bonfire. (All included with ticket purchase.) \nTour dates: \nOctober 10\, 11\, 16\, 17\, 18\, 24 and 25 \nTrolley Time Slots \nThere are five trolley tours per night to choose from:\n7\, 7:30\, 8\, 8:30 and 9 p.m. \nTicket price: $54. \nIncludes 60-minute theatrical tour\, one complimentary drink\, movies\, scavenger hunt\, bonfires and prizes. (Which comes with access to the VIP lounge upstairs at the River Siren Brewery.) \nCheck-In Times: \nDon’t miss the tour\, this is a once-a-year event. Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your trolley time. The Check-in booth at the River Siren opens as early as 6 p.m. This gives you time to check in\, enjoy a beverage\, watch old black & white movies as you relax in the VIP lounge\, roast a marshmallow over the bonfire outside and participate in the scavenger hunt before your trolley departs.
