November - Christmas Stroll and Bright Country Nights

The heart of Lewistown comes alive during the annual Christmas Stroll organized by the Lewistown Area Chamber of Commerce. On Friday, November 25, 2022, downtown Lewistown will be adorned with the warmth of festive lights and the spirit of the season. The Christmas Stroll is not just an event; it's a tradition that brings the community together.


The Parade of Lights, a centerpiece of the stroll, kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Don't miss the chance for the little ones to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus himself. Engage in the festivities with activities like cookie decorating and the Gingerbread House Contest, organized by the Lewistown Art Center.


For those seeking refuge from the cold, businesses across Main Street open their doors with Shop Small Saturday deals. Participate in the $1,000 Chamber Bucks Giveaway by visiting these businesses and entering the draw for a chance to win exciting prizes.


And that's not all. Thanksgiving Weekend brings a Drive-through Holiday Light Show to Lewistown, enhancing the festive atmosphere. Bright Country Nights, held at the Fergus County Fairgrounds, complements the Christmas Stroll with a dazzling display of over 40 light exhibits, a fireworks display, and a community-driven celebration.
