...as we magically transform our community into your vision of Christmas fun!

Fasten your ice skates and glide across the outdoor skating rink at Nelson Commons Park.

Warm up with a cup hot chocolate or visit Santa's village made especially for the little ones.

Buy a ticket and climb aboard for a ride on the Santa Train or the exclusive North Pole Express.

Take in a Saturday performance at Stuart's Opera House and find the perfect gift for that special someone when visiting the shops and galleries along the Public Square.

Wait, there's more! Shop the wonderful businesses along Route 33 and throughout the community where there's outdoor gear, boots and shoes, party foods and spirits, home furnishings and lots more. Buy gift certificates from popular fast food chains, the movies or give someone a night at a bed and breakfast.

You can find much of what's on your Christmas wish list in Nelsonville when you shop businesses and merchants who support our community all year long.

Merry Christmas and visit North Pole Nelsonville!!!
