This Saturday night, one and all are invited to the Denmark Depot building at the Devils River State Recreational Trailhead for a celebration of the beginning of the Christmas season that is purely Denmark.

After Saturday's Toy Show and Tree Lighting, the holiday festivities in Denmark will continue on Sunday with a longstanding local Christmas staple. That day, the Denmark Lions Club will host their 51st Annual Poinsettia Sale in the Denmark High School Gold Gymnasium with hundreds upon hundreds of the festive plants available for shoppers to purchase while supporting their organization.

Before Saturday night's Tree Lighting, residents of the greater Denmark area can stock up on unique Christmas gifts during the third rendition of a new local holiday season tradition. That day, the Denmark FFA Alumni and their supporters will facilitate the organization's 3rd Annual Farm Toy, Railroad & Vendor Show in the Denmark High School (DHS) Purple Gymnasium from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., with thousands of collectable items available for purchase.

Of all the trappings of the Christmas season, one of the most iconic will always be the litany of holiday-themed music. For many, the season is marked with an endless playlist of seasonal hits ranging from traditional hymns to modern pop. Luckily, residents of the greater Denmark area have numerous opportunities to experience some of this music performed live by our talented young people.

For youngsters, an essential part of the holiday season is meeting or corresponding with the big bearded man from way up north to report on their behavior over the last year and negotiate their demands for Christmas morning. The annual conference with Santa Claus is a beloved holiday tradition for many families leading to a busy schedule for the iconic figure.

This weekend, along with all the Christmas fun taking place at the annual Tree Lighting and Poinsettia Sale, a local dining hall will be hosting two of their own holiday events.

On Saturday, December 6, the community of Mishicot will be enveloped by the holiday spirit as a number of local businesses team up with the Mishicot Business Association to present "Christmas in the Village". The festive fun will stretch across town at 13 different locations with hours varying from site to site.
