Jacksonville’s Victorian Christmas

Street view of Jacksonville in the snow with Victorian Christmas sign over the street

Each year, the unique town of Jacksonville transforms into an even more charming version of itself with twinkling lights, festive decorations, and heartwarming holiday cheer during its Victorian Christmas. 


The family-friendly series of events include a Holiday Lights Trolley Tours, a tree lighting ceremony, the holiday parade – featuring Father Christmas, interactive “Festive Quest Bingo,” free hot cider, and holiday music. At the same time, you'll stroll the narrow streets and step over the same thresholds as the town founders did in 1851. Please see website for specific dates and times of these special events.
