Christmas season kicks off in Lexington, NC!

Uptown Lexington Inc. and local merchants will get into the spirit of the holiday season this weekend with the Second Annual Lighting of the Trees on Saturday evening followed by the 16th Annual Christmas Open House on Sunday.

Want to go?
The Second Annual Lighting of the Trees will begin at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Meet in the lobby of host NewBridge Bank and stroll the 14-block route as the trees downtown are lighted.
The 16th Annual Christmas Open House will be from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. There will be free musical performances, horse-drawn carriage rides, Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the North Pole express train ride for children.

On Saturday, host NewBridge Bank will welcome strollers to their lobby to await the start of the annual walk to individually light each of the more than 40 trees along Main Street in Lexington. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., strollers accompanied by a horse-drawn carriage with musicians will leave the NewBridge lobby for the approximately 14-block walk that takes strollers first down South Main Street, loops at Third Avenue and continues to Third Street where they will cross to return down North Main to Center Street. Strollers can join the walk at any point along the route. After the lighting, NewBridge employees will treat strollers with hot beverages and cookies.
