Cornish Christmas invites you to mill around downtown, stroll with mulled wine, and visit a Winter festival of holiday murals alongside the Cornish Christmas favorites you know and love. Shop our “Downtown Promenade” and Main Street with extended Holiday Hours.
Downtown Grass Valley will be filled with the sights and sounds of an old fashioned Christmas; carolers, musicians, and a fire pit to warm your hands. Look for Santa and Mrs. Claus, Snow Queen, the Tree Lady, and other holiday characters. The event hosts craft and food vendors, and the town shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, tap houses and bars are open. The streets will be awash in festive holiday décor, lights and sparkling windows.
Bring your camera to take photos with Santa!
In addition to extended holiday shopping hours on certain days the Grass Valley Downtown Association(GVDA) will be opening a holiday drink booth on Mill Street to enhance the event experience. The GV Chamber of Commerce will also have an event bar at the Clocktower at Mill and Main. Stroll the street with mulled wine and find your holiday treats. Roaming with event bar drinks to sip, shop and stroll. Pause at the steps of the historic Union Building as the Cornish Carol Choir performs traditional homeland Christmas carols. Enjoy the wide selection of holiday music amongst the trappings of a historic gold rush town.
Join us this Holiday season in supporting our local businesses, enjoying food and libations, shopping and strolling Downtown in our festive holiday environment.
