Year after year, I find myself scrambling at the last minute to find Christmas presents to bring home. I wish I had known about the Christmas Village Festival sooner!

Now in its 43rd year, Christmas Village Festival is a great way to get your holiday shopping done while supporting both local and national artists.

BONUS: Bring the whole family to get photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus!
