Christmas Walk &
House Tour
December 4 & 5, 2009
Celebrate the beauty of the season with the Annual
Christmas Walk and House Tour.
The traditional Christmas Walk begins on December 4 at 6:00 pm when Santa Lucia, the Swedish symbol of the season, and her attendants arrive by horse-drawn carriage to offer Swedish cookies to visitors. Santa makes his appearance to light the Great Tree on the Courthouse lawn and officially opens his Gingerbread House at 6:30 pm. Enjoy an evening of holiday shopping and dining in historic Geneva and delight in chestnuts roasting, strolling carolers, freshly-made candy canes and hot cider.
The House Tour takes place on Friday, December 4 from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm and Saturday, December 5 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Five distinctive homes decorated
for the holidays will open their doors to visitors for self-guided tours. A traditional tea
at the Congregational Church in Geneva, and a keepsake decorating and entertaining ideas booklet are also included in the tour.
