If you're growing tired of the shopping malls and hustle bustle in St. Louis, a day trip to Kimmswick might be just what you need. The small, historic town is fascinating all year round, but on December 2nd and 3rd, the city comes alive with a beautiful Christmas celebration.
The Christmas in Kimmswick Festival makes you feel like you've stepped back in time as Christmas carolers walk among the decorated shops and luminary-lined streets. Enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride through the town and see the festive sights.
Celebrate the birth of the Savior by taking your children to see the live nativity. Actors will reenact the manger scene and give young and old a sense of what it was like to live in the time of Christ's birth. Of course, for many children, Christmas wouldn't be complete without Santa as well, so stop by "Mrs. Claus' Workshop" where kids can write a letter to Santa, decorate a cookie and make a Christmas craft.
To learn more about the city, you can take historic building tours. During the festival, the tours will be walked by candlelight, creating a truly historic atmosphere while also celebrating the beauty of the season. While in Kimmswick, you can also complete your Christmas shopping without big screen tvs and iPhone ads screaming for your attention. Enjoy a relaxed shopping experience among Kimmswick's unique shops and find interesting gifts that you may not find elsewhere.
Christmas in Kimmswick is a charming celebration of the holiday season. Don't miss it going on all day Friday and Saturday.
