Special Events at Old City Park

Old Fashioned Fourth of July

Celebrate the birth of our nation amidst the turn-of-the-century buildings at Old City Park.
The festivities include: singers, dancers, bands, an all-join-in parade, pony rides, face painting,
pie eating contests, sack races, and watermelon seed spitting contests.

Candlelight at Old City Park
 

Candlelight is an old fashioned holiday celebration featuring the museum's historic buildings dressed in holiday finery, carriage rides along candlelit paths, and a "Children's Wonderland" tent full of craft activities and games. Santa and Mrs. Claus receive visitors at the museum's Bandstand.

Irresistible treats like homemade fudge are available at the Bake Sale, while food and drink are available at several sites, including Candlelight dinners. Strolling costumed carolers provide holiday music throughout the grounds, while local choirs and dance groups perform at a variety of locations.
