About Us

Christmas in St. Francisville has been a picturesque time ever since the nineteenth century, when the little river town still served as a commercial center for surrounding communities. Some things don't change. Beginning right after Thanksgiving, owners of historic homes here start stringing white lights over windows, doors, gallery posts, shrubbery, yard ornaments, slow-moving pets, and any other architectural features within ladder's reach.

On the weekend of December 5—7, 2025, get ready to join a weekend filled with holiday activities that include free community choir concerts and live entertainment happening on porches around town, 60+ artists selling handmade wares in Parker Park, a weekend-long quilt show taking place in Old Market Hall, and lots more jolly good fun for all ages. Saturday's ticketed events include a Christmas Tour of Homes which supports the West Feliciana Parish Library, Breakfast with Santa seatings at Grace Episcopal Church's Jackson Hall, a Saturday night Christmas Spirits Historic District Stroll event with treats for kids and grownups, and fresh Christmas Wreaths offered for sale. Rosedown and Audubon State Historic Sites schedule interpretive Christmastime programming throughout the weekend, too, so leave time to swing by. It all begins with the traditional Lighting of the Town Christmas Tree at St. Francisville Town Hall on Friday, December 5 at 7 pm.
