Port Washington Christmas on the Corner
December 5 @ 2:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Hosted by Downtown Port, the annual hometown holiday celebration will take place Saturday, December 5, 2026, throughout historic downtown Port Washington along Franklin Street. Our theme this year is, Homemade Holidays!
The festivities are traditionally packed with family-friendly activities throughout the afternoon and evening. Highlights of the event include:
- Downtown Festivities (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM): Enjoy live reindeer visits, an Elf on a Shelf scavenger hunt, cookie decorating, crafts, and horse-drawn carriage rides.
- Tree Lighting Ceremony (5:00 PM): Join the community in singing "O Christmas Tree" as the tree at the foot of St. Mary’s Hill is illuminated, often started by the winner of the local coloring contest.
- Nighttime Christmas Parade (5:15 PM): Watch the streets light up with dazzling holiday floats and marchers.
- Fireworks Finale (6:00 PM): A spectacular fireworks show to cap off the evening.
