Shops open in the morning and the timed program starts in the afternoon: carolers and musicians, holiday music in village churches, horse-drawn wagon rides, children's activities, Santa at the library, a gingerbread contest at the Robbins Hunter Museum, and theatre and music at Denison University, with museums and businesses hosting their own stops. Families walk from venue to venue at their own pace, so it suits strollers and older kids alike; dress for an evening outdoors. The chamber's plan-your-visit page has parking and shuttle information. Admission to the events is free. ## Similar picks in Columbus - [Holiday Gathering and Christmas Tree Lighting in Olde Pickerington Village](https://grassyknees.com/columbus/activities/holiday-gathering-and-christmas-tree-lighting-in-olde-pickerington-vil--listing-7f615e1b758e2b22ea15cfff) — Fri, Dec 4 · 5:00 PM · Olde Pickerington Village (Pickerington Elevate District) · All ages · Free · checked Oct 16.
