Christmas in the Village in Gagetown New Brunswick

Christmas in the Village

Christmas in the Village is an annual festive event that takes place in Gagetown, New Brunswick. Mark your calendar for Saturday November 23rd and Sunday November 24th, 2024 from 10 am - 5 pm. Over the years, I would pick which day to go and either my mother-in-law or a good friend would join me and we would make a full day of it. However, once I was hosted overnight at a local B & B along with my friend Julie, and we enjoyed double the fun. There is so much to see and do that an extended stay is just what you need to pace yourself and fully participate in more of the event’s offerings. You will be guaranteed to leave full of festive spirit, and quite possibly a carload of locally-made artisan gifts. Christmas in the Village is just one of those events that has people coming back year after year after year. It is another reason why this is the most wonderful time of the year.

Staying overnight is a great way to fully embrace Christmas in the Village. There are a few places to stay in the village to extend your visit to enjoy more of the festivities, and culinary opportunities.

Gagetown’s Christmas in the Village

Gagetown’s Christmas in the Village is a wonderful day-trip experience but can be also enjoyed by spending the night and fully participating in a whole weekend of fun. Enjoy visiting village shops, artisan studios, and pop-up shops, then drop into the historic Courthouse, Tilley House, Loomcrofter’s, and the St. John’s Anglican Church to see the incredible display of nativity scenes from around the world. A browse at Rustic Reflections Antiques & Collectibles is always on my to do list. Keep an eye out for Santa Claus. He always makes an appearance. Follow Gagetown’s Christmas in the Village Facebook page for more information, including a map of all of the village offerings.

Overnight in Gagetown

I highly recommend overnighting in Gagetown to anyone who feels they just cannot see or do Christmas in the Village all in one day. Having an extra day to take it all in was so much fun. The May Queen and Gulliver’s Guest Suites are two great choices that I have personally enjoyed. Learn more in: Discover Arcadia and Gulliver’s World Café & Guest Suites .
