St. Francisville, La. Saint Francisville, Louisiana 70775
Christmas in St. Francisville has been a picturesque time since the nineteenth century, when the little river town still served as a commercial center for the surrounding plantation country. Some things don't change. Beginning right after Thanksgiving, owners of historic homes start stapling white lights to windows, doors, gallery posts, shrubbery, yard ornaments, unsuspecting tourists, and any other architectural features within ladder's reach. Expect community choirs, historic homes to peep into, fresh Christmas wreaths for sale, holiday fun and games for kids, downtown entertainment, and more jolly good fun. Rosedown and Audubon State Historic Sites schedule interpretive Christmastime programming throughout the weekend, so leave time to swing by.
