Durham is embracing the holiday season with a variety of events for families to enjoy throughout December. The City of Durham's official website outlines a diverse lineup of celebrations and gatherings, offering something for all ages and tastes to enjoy.

For the youngest among us, the Christmas Story Time offers an enchanting escape into the world of holiday tales, while teenagers can let loose at the Dance the Night Away – Frozen Ball. Adults are invited to flaunt their most outrageous holiday knitwear at the Ugly Sweater Party, and for our pets, Santa Paws. The event also serves a larger purpose, operating as a drive for canine food and toys.

The city's holiday festivities include the Holiday Parade on Saturday next week and the Holiday Tree, which will remain on display as a symbol of seasonal traditions throughout the month. Additionally, local small businesses contribute to the economy by offering unique gifts, providing an opportunity to support the community during the holiday season. The City of Durham also encourages shopping local this holiday season to support our local businesses.

As events fill up quickly, attendees are urged to register soon. For details and registration, visit the City of Durham website.
