Downtown Effingham Hometown Christmas
Downtown Effingham’s Hometown Christmas returns Saturday, November 28, with an afternoon full of holiday traditions for the whole family.
From 3–5p make your way downtown for Santa’s Workshop, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, Christmas and winter characters, kids’ activities, crafts, cookie decorating, hot chocolate, kettle corn and more.
Then at 5p, find your spot along Jefferson Avenue as the Lighted Christmas Parade brings downtown to life with decorated floats, festive vehicles and plenty of Christmas lights.
And the evening doesn’t end with the parade! Santa heads to the Santa House from 5:45–8p, with more holiday activities happening throughout downtown.
Whether you’re home for Thanksgiving weekend, bringing the kids for the first time or continuing a tradition you’ve had for years, spend part of your Saturday with us in downtown Effingham.
