Winter Market

Presented by Centier Bank, the Winter Market will kick off at 4 p.m. on Town Hall Green, featuring 30 unique vendors offering a variety of handcrafted goods, holiday treats, and seasonal delights. It’s the perfect opportunity to find one-of-a-kind gifts while supporting local artisans. In addition to the Winter Market vendors, guests can purchase smores kits from Girl Scout Troop 2356. 

Don’t forget food! Food trucks will be on-site during the evening providing warm fresh food. Grab a bite from Lumpia Creations or Grumpy Gringo, cookies from Beverly Ann’s Cookie Truck, and some hot cocoa from Tom’s Coffee Truck.

Santa’s Workshop

For families, Santa’s Workshop in Eaton Hall, hosted by the Brownsburg Public Library, will open its doors at 4 p.m. Children can explore their creativity and make holiday-themed crafts in a warm and welcoming environment.

Parade

The highlight of the evening is the lighted parade, which begins at 6 p.m. Featuring more than 40 illuminated floats from local businesses and organizations, the parade offers a dazzling display the whole family will enjoy.

The route starts on Main Street at Eastern Avenue, travels west to Green Street, and then turns north to conclude at Enderly Avenue.

After the parade, visit with some of Santa’s reindeer beginning at 6 PM on Town Hall Green! While the reindeer aren’t for petting, listen to interesting facts about the reindeer.

At 7:15 p.m., gather around Town Hall Green for the Tree Lighting Ceremony, led by our Jr. Grand Marshal. Witness the magic as we illuminate our community tree to celebrate the season. Be sure to check out the artwork around the Christmas tree, created by the Brownsburg High School Art Honor Society.

Immediately following the lighting, free photos with Santa will be available in the Town Hall lobby. Donations are requested by Brownsburg Kiwanis for Riley Children’s Hospital.
