Ho Ho Ho Holiday Stroll, 2024

Vergennes Downtown was a merriment of activity up, down and all around Main Street during the Ho Ho Ho Holiday Stroll! Taking place the 1st Saturday of each December, 2024 marks a new location for this annual event. This year, the Stroll took place Saturday, December 7 throughout Vergennes.

The fun begins began with Breakfast with Santa at the Vergennes United Methodist Church, across from the Opera House, 9:00-11:30am. In the afternoon from 1:00-3:00pm, Santa and Mrs. Claus welcomed the children at 48 Green Street, One Credit Union, sponsors for the day-long event. CLICK HERE to see what the day entailed.

The fun went on into the early evening at City Park - lighting of the trees, firepits, hot chocolate, caroling and the arrival of the famous S.D. Ireland lighted truck delighted us all.
