From: Christmas in New Harmony FestivalThis little town brings back the warmth of an old-fashioned Christmas where you’re walking from shop to shop, enjoying the sounds of carolers in the streets and sampling the tasty treats of the holidays! Our small town Christmas Parade on Saturday morning is not to be missed, and there is "Candyland" and the hot chocolate bar for the kiddos. Our vendors provide everything from home baked goodies to incredible works by skilled artisans that make exquisite gifts for those on your list. There is also a Holiday House Tour that highlights the diversity of architectural styles in this beautiful and historic town.
