Warm your hands or roast a marshmallow by our firepits, then stop by historic sites such as the Freeman Store and Museum, Little Library, Caboose, Train Station, Knights of Columbus (formerly First Baptist Church) and Vienna Presbyterian's Old Chapel. Church Street businesses will also be open.
As you stroll down Church Street, you’ll also find gingerbread ornament decorating stations. Take your decorated ornament to the Explore Vienna VA tent (across from the Freeman Store) by 6:50 p.m. to officially submit it for judging. A prize pack of gift cards to local businesses will be awarded in several categories to ornament artists of all ages. Winners will be announced at 7 p.m.
