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. \nHolz Tree Lighting at 6 p.m.
