Christmasville 2025 in Stephenville: Parade, Fireworks & Tree Lighting on Nov. 29

Christmasville in Stephenville has become a cherished hometown tradition, filled with food, fun, shopping, holiday music, and family-friendly activities. Santa and his elves will be coming to town, making it the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit!

This year’s celebration kicks off Saturday, November 29th, in Downtown Stephenville, on the square in the heart of our community.

Enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides, contests and games, live entertainment, and photos with the big guy himself. Browse unique finds from local vendors and warm up with the rich flavors of the annual Chili Cook-Off. You can even take part in a fun scavenger-style progressive bingo as you explore downtown shops, many offering special in-store activities the whole family will love.

As evening sets in, folks will gather along the streets for the Lighted Christmas Parade, an awe-inspiring tradition that leads into a breathtaking fireworks show illuminating the night sky. Then join friends and neighbors for the Community Tree Lighting, a sparkling finale to an unforgettable day of small town Christmas magic.
