What is Christmas in Kalona?

  • Downtown Walking Stocking, Campfires, & Music

    Downtown Kalona is filled with warmth and live music! Campfires and musicians are set up on street corners. Sip complimentary hot cider and hot cocoa while enjoying the music.

    Kids visit downtown businesses, collecting free small goodies to fill their stockings! Pick up a Stocking at the Kalona Chamber.

  • Christmas Market, Santa, & Kids Activities

    Visit the YMCA from 9am - 2pm to start your Christmas shopping at the Kalona Christmas Market. Kids can enjoy face painting, cookie decorating, ornament making, and more! Be sure to stick around for Santa’s arrival and photos with Santa and his reindeer!

    Walk through the Kalona Historical Village from 4pm - 7pm. You can join in the caroling, roast marshmallows next to the campfires, and enjoy the beautiful trees decorated by community businesses and organizations. Be sure to vote for your favorite tree!
