A Cedarburg Country Christmas & Historic Festive Friday Eves

About this adventure

Step into an authentic Currier & Ives holiday postcard during A Cedarburg Country Christmas, celebrated across historic Washington Avenue in Ozaukee County. Centered around the 1864 stone woolen mill at Cedar Creek Settlement, Festive Friday Eves takes place for five consecutive Friday evenings leading to Christmas. Hundreds of glowing luminaria line the sidewalks as horse-drawn carriage rides jingle past limestone storefronts. Families enjoy strolling carolers in Victorian dress, visiting Santa's Workshop in the historic settlement courtyard, crafting keepsake holiday ornaments, and riding the complimentary holiday trolley. Warm up indoors with complimentary hot spiced apple cider, fresh ginger cookies, and live acoustic folk music, while browsing charming local toy stores, sweet shoppes, and artisan craft boutiques. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Sidewalks along Washington Avenue are paved and level; Cedar Creek Settlement features ramped entryways and courtyard access. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Cedar Creek Settlement and the Cedarburg Community Center offer clean restrooms with diaper-changing stations. • Age Suitability: Ideal for all ages, from infants wrapped in blankets to great-grandparents. • Sensory Tips: Gentle outdoor lantern glow and acoustic caroling create a warm, low-intensity holiday ambiance.
