Lighted Christmas Stroll Through Pioneer Village

Lighted Christmas Stroll Through Pioneer Village
DECEMBER 8, 9, and 15, 16, 2023

Volunteers of the Ferndale Heritage Society will again host a “Lighted Christmas Stroll Through Pioneer Village” event. This free event is a “giving back to our community” labor of love. The second and third weekends in December, Pioneer Village will be open Friday and Saturday evenings, DECEMBER 8, 9, and 15, 16, 2023, 5 – 8pm. Thanks to those board stamped concrete sidewalks, you won’t even get your feet wet as you stroll around the cabins, see all the park lit up with over 90,000 lights, hear Christmas music and see costumed volunteers greet you as you feel the holiday cheer spill into the winter air.
“Every year the park just gets better as we add more lighted outside decorations. During these Lighted Stroll weekends there is no access into any of the cabins” explains event organizer Tom Brand. Cabin fronts, roofs, and porches as well as the main gate and center of the park, will be decorated. “It’s truly a step back in time as we hope to enhance your holiday season.”
Young guests are encouraged to prewrite their letters to Santa and mail them in the Santa mailbox that will be located by the Barrett Post Office. Letter template is available on heritage website. The letters need to have their names and a legible mailing address to help Santa return them. Hot beverages will be provided onsite, compliments of Whatcom Educational Credit Union, to keep you warm as you stroll. A photo booth will be at the Barr Barn lean-to get those annual pictures. Santa hasn’t committed to making an appearance, but you just never know where he might be hiding. This year, there will be a “seek and find the snowmen” scavenger hunt challenge.
Pioneer Village is home to 15 historic log cabins. Only certified service animals allowed within all the fenced areas (Pioneer Village), per City Municipal Code 12.26.010 C. 3.
Lighted Christmas Stroll Through Pioneer Village is open the second and third weekends in December. Friday and Saturday evenings, DECEMBER 8, 9, and 15, 16, 2023, 5 to 8 p.m. Free admission.
