Victorian Christmas Downtown Nevada City Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 5-9 pm
Victorian Christmas, the old-fashioned celebration held each year in this colorful California Gold Rush town, evokes holiday memories of an earlier era. During the event, Nevada City’s landmark historic district is closed to motorized traffic and transformed back in time. Christmas melodies and costumed characters remind visitors of another time and place. Holiday celebrants fill the streets, sampling the outdoor fare of friendly hawkers & vendors and food & goods offered by downtown restaurants and specialty shops. Victorian singers, bagpipers, a living nativity scene and visits with Santa Claus are among the attractions. Taste chestnuts roasted on an open fire and enjoy strolling minstrels, brass bands, carriage rides and much more. More info at http://www.nevadacitychamber.com/events/index.cfm#/?i=2
