An old-fashioned celebration featuring a holiday parade (parade at 5:30 p.m. starting at the Historic Murphys Hotel and continues to Big Trees Road) treats, and local wines. Musicians and carolers fill the streets with the sounds of the seasons, Santa arrives with the parade, lights the tree and stays for photos with the kids.

Every year on the first Friday in December, Murphys celebrates the holiday season with a community Open House from 5 to 8 p.m. Admission is free, the streets are closed and we are ready to celebrate the season. Open House is a great time to peruse Murphys wonderful shops, tasting rooms and restaurants, see what's new, visit with old friends, admire the community tree, and appreciate our small town spirit.

Main Street closes to allow Santa to arrive with the Parade and light the Christmas Tree on his way to the Native Sons Hall for photos with the kids. Businesses will be open, treats will be proffered, carolers will be singing and the firepits will be blazing so plan to join us this year to catch up with your neighbors and get the holiday season started.
