Waynesville takes on the nostalgic feeling of Christmas past as the downtown is adorned in traditional holiday décor. Make plans to visit this holiday season as we have exciting entertainment, strolling throughout the downtown, and in store fronts. In addition, we have Santa Claus arriving daily, carolers & choirs, costume characters, photo-ops, a gingerbread house making contest, and so much more. Don’t forget 60+ retail shops and boutiques that you can either start or complete your gift giving list. Scrumptious dining establishments that will keep your tummy full enough to say, “ho, ho, ho.”
