At the event, visitors can expect 30 vendors with Christmas comfort foods and arts and crafts items perfect for Christmas shopping. The children’s area will include a craft station and lawn games. Live music from the Wylie Community Band will feature French horns and flutes. Photo opportunities with a Victorian Santa in a green robe will be offered inside the Brown House. 

Also inside, the Brown House’s latest exhibit on view for the rest of the year, “The Victorian Origins of Christmas Traditions,” offers a unique and educational look at the holiday with decorations, couture and a history lesson. 

The show includes nine Christmas trees with themes like Victorian elegance, trains and “The Nutcracker.”
