In between stops to the shops, the calendar is packed with holiday events, home tours, chocolate tastings, snowflake festivals, arts & craft shows, theater productions, choral concerts and much more.

Start your holiday cheer with an illuminating drive through this year's Christmas Wonderland light display. This display includes over 3 million lights that twinkle in Rock Spring Park. You can take a drive, walk or ride on a carriage through Christmas Wonderland, which is open nightly Nov. 29 through Dec. 29.

Rare depression glass, hand spun pottery, unique jewelry, homemade fudge and one-of-a-kind apparel will show the thought and love you put into selecting each gift. Giving a relaxing getaway package as a gift is always a great idea. From the pampered elegance offered at a bed and breakfast inn, to the warm rustic surroundings of a cabin on the bluffs, there are plenty of getaway packages from which to choose.
