WATERLOO, Ill. — Haul out the holly! It is the most wonderful time of the year! And, we know just the place to kick off your holiday season!
“If you have ever wondered what it feels like to be on the set of a Hallmark movie, you need to come to the Christmas walk,” says Jenny Bullock, Chairperson of the Waterloo Christmas Walk.
No place celebrates the seasons quite like Waterloo, Illinois! On November 19th, the fun begins. Because after all, the best way to celebrate the holidays is to shop small.
Introducing the 42nd Annual Christmas Walk.
“It is a tradition where ladies will talk about it with their mom, and now they are doing it with their children. It is a time honored tradition here in Waterloo.”
From November 19th through Sunday, November 26th, you can shop at 18 participating businesses with your Christmas walk card. For every purchase you make, you get a stamp! Once you hit 9, you are entered to win a prize drawing with $1,300 in gift cards on the line. But, shopping is not the only fun to be had.
Santa is coming to town! You can catch the man with the list on Black Friday as he enters the city on carriage! After that, you can visit Santa for free every Saturday and Sunday leading up to December 23rd. And to think this holiday of fun, gets better. Visitors can enjoy free carriage rides, holiday music, the parade, frosty and rudolph, and more.
While the city is thrilled to host the festive fun, it is also an opportunity to spend your Black Friday and small business Saturday supporting local. Because every hallmark town has a community of supporters behind them.
