Christmas in Carencro

It’s a whole day of Christmas cheer, and a lot of it: think choirs, arts and crafts, holiday treats, and an opportunity to donate toys to those less fortunate. It all kicks off with the annual "Dancer, Dasher, Prancer 5K Run" at 8 am, then carries forth with the Carencro Country Christmas vendor village at the Carencro Community Center and the official Christmas Parade at 10 am. In the evening, set out towards downtown for the Old Fashioned Christmas Candyland, featuring the lighting of the city Christmas tree, a Polar Express train ride, carols, and cookies with hot chocolate to set the scene—not to mention visits from Santa, Mrs. Claus, and even the Grinch. 8 am–8 pm. Free. Details on the Christmas in Carencro Facebook Page.
