A highlight of the celebration will be the live entertainment. From the traditional elegance of the minuet and Baroque and Renaissance chamber music to the rich ballads and tales of the troubadour, visitors will enjoy traditional colonial music and dancing. Festivities will include a community bonfire and carolling.

Saturday evening will be capped by a live performance at the Town Hall of “Paths to the Edge,” by the award-winning Ki Theatre performance group.

Area Christmas tree farmers will join this year’s celebration, offering visitors a brisk “cut-your-own” walk through acres of fir, pine, and spruce.

Parking and admission to the Colonial Christmas week-end festivities are free to the public. For a detailed list of the weekend’s events and for further information, call Country Heritage, (703) 675-3738.

“Come experience the joyous sights and sounds of a traditional colonial Christmas in the 1st Washington of them all!” said a spokesman for the Washington Business Council, which sponsors the event. The Washington Business Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting historic Washington, Virginia, as a national treasure.
