Experience Winter Walk
December 9 , 2021

In the heart of the holiday season, an event takes place that draws crowds from near and far. Steaming cups of hot cocoa, the sounds of hooves clippity-clapping along the streets, and candles flickering in the breeze, creates a magically and can’t miss one-night festival.

Visitors can wander through our unique shops and enjoy beautifully decorated storefront window displays. There will be horse-drawn carriages ready to take you for a short ride, carolers strolling through downtown along with thousands of twinkling lights to guide your path! Old and young alike enjoy viewing the model train display located at the Northfield Public Library – or watching the performance of the NAGCracker (Nutcracker) at the Northfield Arts Guild.

Santa Claus and his elves will be making an appearance as well as Frosty the Snowman and Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer! We hope you will join us, as we usher in the holiday season with this fun and festive event.

Voted Best Holiday Event since 2013 by SoMinn Scene Magazine!
