There will be special events on Friday evening and Saturday morning, including the Christmas Parade at 11:00 on Saturday morning. Please notify Town Hall if you will be placing an entry in the parade so that we can start working on a line up sheet.

Thank you for making the annual Wagener Christmas Parade such a success. We look forward to celebrating this Holiday Season with the Wagener Community.

Friday evening starting at 6:30 PM you can catch special performances at the Pavilion. Performances include the WSHS JROTC, Busbee Elementary Chorus, A.L. Corbett Middle School's Strings Group and the WSHS Band, seen here from last year's celebration.

Before and during the performaces, you can enjoy Open House at various businesses and churches around town. Open Houses will include refreshments, lots of decorations and great home town fellowship.

Take the kids to visit Santa at the gazebo across from Town Hall on Park Street. Bring your own camera and you are welcome to take photos.

Horse and Carriage rides will be available from 5 - 7 PM on Friday evening. You can ride around town and view the decorations and lights. You can also use the carriage to ride from one Open House event to another. This year there will be two boarding locations. You can board at Park Street across from Town Hall near the gazebo or on Short Street, behind Town Hall, in front of the Wagener Museum. The Museum is always open for Open House and this is a great night to visit the Museum if you've never done so.
