A special treat of the celebration will be colonial meals served at the local cafe, a traditional Christmas dinner served at the volunteer fire department, and delightful meals provided at several other inns and restaurants in the area. Some of the delectable dishes to choose from are cornish game hens, brunswick stew, and Sally Lund Bread.
Another highlight of the celebration will be live entertainment. The elegance of Baroque and Renaissance Chamber music serve as background to the Colonial Dancers, performing traditional dances in beautiful period ballgowns and frock coats in the Town Hall.
Washington’s very fine Ki Theatre, will have four performances of two 14th Century Christmas dramas, “The Shepherds’ Play” at 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and “The Three Kings’ Play” at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. About 40 members of the Rappahannock Community take part in the dramas.
Area Christmas tree farms offer vistiors a brisk “cut your own” walk through acres of fir, pine and spruce. Pre-cut trees and greens will also be available.
At 6 p.m. on Saturday night come and join the community caroling around a roaring bonfire with hot apple cider.
