Welcome to Christmas in Barre! We are a non-profit group, run solely by volunteers, committed to decorating Barre's commons and bringing free annual events to residents. As we are not an official Town committee, the majority of the costs for the expenses of the season rely on donations from community members, businesses and organizations, and grants.
Donations can be mailed to:

This is where you can find all the information about our annual
celebration, which is always held ton the first Saturday of
December, rain or shine.
Join us annually on the Barre Common and the surrounding businesses for Christmas in Barre! Our event, which is always free for families to attend, includes a Santa parade, a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, horse-drawn wagon rides, and more!
Most Christmas in Barre events start at 10 a.m., but some locations open their doors sooner. Use the table below to browse events by start time. Please continue to check back often as events and details are subject to change right up until the event date. Paper copies will also be handed out on the day of the event to families around the common, or can be picked up from Woods Memorial Library during the week leading up to our celebration.
