3. Long Grove, Illinois
The streets of downtown Long Grove come alive for the holiday season. This inviting small town of Chicago has a yearly “Vintage Holidays” theme, a seasonal tribute to the small-town holiday market experience complete with picture-perfect shops.
Festivities each weekend include the famous Christmas Tree Parade, complimentary horse-drawn carriage rides, costumed carolers, Victorian buildings trimmed in lights, a movie-perfect covered bridge, and cobblestone walkways lined with luminaries.
You’ll even get to meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus while here! You can expect all this from November 19th through December 19th, along with village merchants participating in a “Christmas Tree Parade” and much more.
The Historic Downtown Long Grove Business Association organizes this event each year.
Tarpon Springs, Florida, is the home of the largest Greek community in the United States. This vibrant little town is decorated to the max from Thanksgiving through New Years. We just love going down the avenue seeing all the shops! Come visit our little town!

Need some southern flavor. Like St Augustine or Dunedin, FL
Dahlonega, Georgia is one of the most incredible places for Christmas time. The streets are all lit up, live music on the square and a blissful feeling of happiness as you walk the streets and shop in vintage style stores. Trees surrounding the square are lit up and there’s a cheeriness in the air.
