A Burlington Christmas Overview!




Here's an overview of what's happening in Burlington this weekend! 

Visit Burlington, December 7 - 9 for a weekend filled with holiday traditions! Between the Library, Dinsmore Homestead, Boone County Historical Society and Historic Burlington Business Association, there is something that will appeal to everyone in the family. View the outdoor living nativity scene on Friday night while you wait for the festivities to begin. Santa will appear at 6:30 p.m. in the gazebo between the old and new courthouses, just in time for the Burlington tree lighting. 

Burlington’s shops and restaurants will be open special hours all weekend. Afterward, drop by the Main Library to listen to jazz and shop the art show.       


Stop by Farm Bureau Insurance on Saturday to see an operating Lionel train display, and then head over to the Dinsmore House for music, refreshments, a family scavenger hunt and Christmas Tours. Boone County Historical Society’s "Christmas in the Country" display will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the old clerk’s building. Experience Christmas as it "used to be" as you browse holiday treasures from the past and then warm up in the Library at 2 p.m. while you listen to Wild Carrot & the Roots Band. 

The Santa Paws Pet Parade, sponsored by Boone County Animal Shelter, begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday in front of the old courthouse and Dinsmore’s Holiday Shop will be set up at Cabin Arts from noon to 4 p.m.
