Rescheduled Old Fashioned Village Christmas is This Friday
Event was moved a week later after being rained out last Friday.
Take two, Babylon! Get ready for a night on the town as Babylon Village celebrates its Old Fashioned Village Christmas this Friday, December 13.
The annual event will take place in the downtown area of Babylon along Deer Park Avenue and East and West Main Street on Friday. The event is sponsored by the Babylon Village Chamber of Commerce.
The original event was scheduled for last Friday, but was rained out thanks in part to a storm system that dumped many inches of precipitation across our area.
The holiday tradition kicks off at 5 p.m. and lasts all evening through to 9 p.m.
Village shops will have holiday specials available – so remember to shop local for your loved ones this season. Holiday music, outdoor snacks and treats and a wonderful time is expected by event organizers.
Santa Claus will ride up and down Deer Park Avenue starting at 5:30 p.m., being pulled on a horse-drawn carriage. Children will be invited into the carriage for a photograph with the holly jolly one.
Parking on Deer Park Avenue and Main Street will be free – most meters will be covered in red to allow for easy parking to access your village shops during the season.
