Holiday Season
Fredericksburg during the Christmas season has often been compared to a holiday Hallmark movie and with good reason. Whether it's ice skating and marveling at our 30-foot Christmas Tree, shopping along a Main Street decked out in its holiday finest, enjoying the wine trail and local cuisine, or experiencing one of the many special events, Fredericksburg is the perfect holiday getaway.
In 2020, Fredericksburg will still be a magical place for the holidays, highlighted by its nightly lighting countdown - 55 Nights of Fredericksburg Lights!, which will take place each evening at Marktplatz at 6 p.m., starting on Thursday, Nov. 12 and running through Wednesday, Jan. 6.
Social distancing is encouraged throughout your visit to Fredericksburg this holiday season, while the City of Fredericksburg has a supplemental order for face coverings in place through the end of 2020. Learn more about a current visit to town.
