Christmas on the Canal

2023 Christmas on the Canal will be held November 11, 2023

Ho Ho Ho – Christmas on the Canal ushers in Holiday Fun!

Residents are invited to gather in downtown Bolivar near the Christmas House at the Canal Street parking lot behind the Wandering Wildflower. Most activities will be held outside, so dress for the weather!

Children can enjoy crafty ornament making with Mary Locy, and Canal Street Diner will have plenty of hot chocolate for all. Free Goody Bags filled with buttons and pencils from Bolivar Library will be given to children to take home.

The Bolivar Fire Department finishes up the parade, when they will be delivering the precious cargo of Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with a few of their elves!

Children are welcome to stop at the Christmas House to visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves. Parents will have the opportunity to take pictures of their child with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Holiday time at Canal Street Diner

Outdoor warming stations will help to keep everyone warm while music and carolling will keep spirits bright! Hay rides by Cedar Crest Farms and train rides by Little Roaming Train will keep things moving!

Children are encouraged to write letters to Santa and drop them off in the special mailbox located outside Canal Street Diner. Remember to include a return address so Santa can write back.

Santa arrives in Bolivar via Fire Truck!
