Festival of Trees The Christmas season starts as soon as the turkey’s cold in St. Albans, with the annual spruced-up Festival of Trees kicking off the Saturday after Thanksgiving and running into December. Throughout the week, locals can stroll the Downtown Tree Walk and take in the lights, get artsy at a Holiday Paint Party at Awaken Yoga & Creative Arts Studio, and dress up for an enchanted Holiday Masquerade Gala. Families can check out the Holiday PJ Story Time at the St. Albans Free Library, the crafts at Santa’s workshop and the surprise free movie at Welden Theatre. And, of course, one and all are welcome at the spectacular Tree Lighting and Laser Show at Taylor Park.

LE MARS A simple idea to draw more people to downtown Le Mars has grown exponentially since first being held in 2016. From just 12 vendors on one city block in the first year to more than 100.
