‘Tis
the season to spend in Geneva Done
Christmas Walk and House Tour
December 6 & 7
Yuletide cheer fills the winter air when Geneva prepares for its annual Christmas Walk and House Tour, December 6 and 7. A magical tradition held the first Friday and Saturday in December, sponsored by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce with the support of the City of Geneva.
Five charming homes, aglow with holiday decorations, will open their doors to visitors for self-guided tours on Friday from 10 am to 8 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. The personality of each home will illuminate when local decorators and landscapers work with homeowners to create holiday magic. A portion of the proceeds from the House Tour are used to decorate Geneva for the holiday season. Tickets will be available to order in mid-October online or by phone. This event may sell out, so order early.
The holidays come alive in Geneva on Friday evening beginning with the arrival of Santa Lucia, the Swedish symbol of the season. She and her attendants offer Swedish cookies to merry makers. The Great Tree on the Courthouse lawn is lit and the young and young at heart will wait with anticipation as Santa Claus arrives. Santa will then be available for visits from excited children. All the excitement begins at 6 pm.
Amongst the twinkling lights and fresh greenery lined streets, chestnuts are roasting over open fires, carolers fill the night air with seasonal favorites and a live nativity scene takes place. Dazzling window displays brimming with gift ideas invite shoppers to stroll through shops as merchants serve traditional holiday refreshments.
A Geneva Christmas is one not to be missed. Visit genevachamber.com to discover more magical offerings throughout December.
