Christmas Events in Fuquay Varina

Christmas in Fuquay Varina

If you are like most people including myself, you really enjoy the holidays.  For me it has a lot to do with the people I get to see around Christmas that I don’t always get to see during the year.  It also has to do with all the delicious special foods that get made this time of year.  I know my tradition is to gain about 5 pounds from Thanksgiving through New Years.  If you live in southern Wake County, you will want to also partake in the fun festivities offered in Fuquay Varina. Check out two of my favorites below:

Fuquay Varina Tree Lighting and Sleigh Rides 

This annual event will take place on Thursday, November 29th from 6:00-8:00.  Come on out to the municipal parking lot on the corner of Main St and Vance St to see the town tree and lights get turned on at 6:00pm.  Following the tree lighting, you will have an opportunity to enjoy choral performances by school groups from the various schools of Fuquay Varina. 

Also, the big man himself, Santa will be on hand for some serious lap sitting and present wishing.  Hot chocolate and cookies are typically found not too far away. Horse drawn sleigh rides will also be available for $3/ticket and are on a first come first serve basis.  This is brought to you and sponsored by the FVDRA (Fuquay Varina Downtown Revitalization Association).  For full details on all of these events, you can visit  www.fuquay-varinadowntown.com.

Fuquay Varina Christmas Parade  

The 2018 Christmas Parade will take place on Sunday December 2nd starting at 3:00pm.  In the past, the parade started outside of downtown on North Main Street and made its way through downtown.  This year there have been some changes to the route to be aware of.  This year, the parade will start at the corner of S. Fuquay Ave and E. Academy. (next to Fuquay Tire).  The route will take the parade south toward the main Fire Department and then toward Main St to proceed back north up through town and all the way up Main St to Woodrow St near CVS.  Here is a link to the complete Parade Route.

I hope to see you out around town during these holiday months, and as always, if I can assist you with your real estate needs please do not hesitate to reach out!
