Hometown Christmas
December 7th 4pm to 7 pm
The Columbus Fire Department, Town of Columbus and Discover Columbus committee invite you to kick off the Christmas Season with a Parade through downtown starting at 4pm.
Following the parade be sure to bring the whole family to Stearns Park for Hometown Christmas. Local churches will be hosting many of the booths, as well as town staff and crews, the Polk County Public Library storytellers, and committee members. Enjoy Christmas music and carolers, hot chocolate, mulled cider and candy canes, fresh popcorn, cookie decorating station, merchant gifts, Christmas tree lighting, listen to Christmas stories, visit the live Nativity scene and have your picture taken with Santa Claus in the Gazebo. Santa’s Mail Box is already up at the corner of the park ready for letters!
