Christmas in Bedford Falls

For those not yet in the Christmas spirit, I suggest going to downtown historical Bedford and take a look at Bedford Square's Christmas lighting display at night.

From the PD--

Bedford Square's gazebo stands below the old city hall, illuminated with lights for the holiday season Tuesday, Dec, 04, 2007. Bedford, with its lovely town square --flanked by a 1874 museum, once a town hall, and an 1882 railroad depot -- once a year becomes Bedford Falls, the "It's a Wonderful Life" town. December 8 kicks off the Bedford Falls festival with horse-drawn wagon rides and Santa greeting kids in a caboose.

The Christmas in Bedford Falls is really an event that must be seen. Taking place on the Square from 12:00 - 4:oopm this Saturday 12/8. This will be sure to bring back childhood memories of Christmas and will make cherished Christmas memories for years to come with your children.

There will be fun filled activities up and down Broadway through the downtown business district and on the Bedford Square. Events include photos with Santa, horse drawn carriage rides, entertainment throughout Broadway, fun and festive activities at many shops, giveaways, face painting, clowns, ice sculpting, and a frequent shopper raffle.

The Bedford Historical Society which owns the above pictured Old Town Hall will be hosting their annual "Christmas Open House" from 10:00 - 2:00pm. Christmas in Bedford Falls could be considered the celebration to end the yearly events on Bedford Square.

Kicking events off in the summer is the Rotary Rib Burn Off, then my favorite is the Bedford Historical Society's Annual Strawberry Festival & Classic Car Show. These two events are followed by the Lions Festival, The Italian/American Festival, Bedford Community Council Street Dance, and the BCC Oktoberfest, to name a few.

For more information on these events please contact the Bedford Chamber of Commerce for a list of the 2008 dates.
