Hometown Christmas Celebration in the Mohawk Valley

It's that time of year - the excitement of the holidays makes its way around the area with numerous festivals and events. And this one coming up in Little Falls has it all.

It has been a Christmas tradition for 10 years and they're still adding fun new activities. Christmas in Little Falls is set for Saturday, December 9th, starting off with a frosty road race. Registration for the Red Nose Reindeer Run at the Little Falls Family YMCA kicks off at 8am, with a shot-gun start provided by Santa Claus himself at 9am.

Santa will also be on hand at the Little Falls Fire Station to meet the kids from 9-10:30. There will be an indoor Farmers Market and Craft Fair at the Travelodge from 9-3pm. And there will be lots of live entertainment. The Little Falls Elks Lodge is hosting the "Not So Silent Night" music fest from 1pm-10pm with a wide variety of local musicians and bands - Jonah Ladd, Kenna, Daydream, Ode, and Pine Ridge Mountain Band, and there's no charge for admission. There will also be a free jam session at The Renaissance led by local artist and jazz musician Oscar Stivala.

Also be on the lookout for something "wild" - the Moose is Loose! Take part in a fun social media game tracking the moose by sharing photos on their Facebook page.

There are tons of things to see and do during this hometown celebration in Little Falls, such as horse and carriage rides, a bartender race and the Soup Fest to help you keep warm, and help benefit local charities. You can find the full list of events and register for the Red Nose Reindeer Run on their website.
