TOWN OF GARNER HOLIDAY EVENTS & THINGS TO DO
Republished from the Downtown Garner Association
Visit Downtown Garner now through the end of 2020 for a dose of holiday cheer! While the holidays look a bit different this year, the Downtown Garner Association invites you to enjoy a safe, socially-distanced walk down Main Street. This go-at-your-own-pace event is open 24/7 – we urge visitors to take necessary safety precautions and avoid crowds due to COVID.
The windows of Garner’s historic business district have been transformed into a winter wonderland with festive holiday artwork. Visit the North Pole, say hi to Santa, carol along to the 12 Days of Christmas, and stop off for a cup of cheer!
While you enjoy the bright Christmas lights, cheery artwork, and jolly green wreaths, take pictures – it’s perfect for family holiday photos and Instagram backdrops! Be sure to tag @DowntownGarner on Facebook and Instagram and use #GarnerChristmasOnMain in your photos – we’ll feature our favorites weekly!
