About

Celebrating a tradition that began nearly 50 years ago when The Flower House hosted a Christmas Open House. Other businesses and organizations began participating in what is now the Host of Christmas Past. Each year, on the second weekend in November, downtown Fayetteville becomes the setting for a magical holiday experience. With an array of music, food, exhibits, shops, candlelight and Christmas spirit the entire community joins together to promote qualities of our town. For hotel and bed and breakfast accommodations, please contact the Chamber of Commerce.

Begin your visit on Friday by enjoying our beautiful Downtown all decorated for the holiday season. Join us for the Opening Kickoff on the east side of Courthouse lawn at 5pm. Then enjoy strolling the square and browse the beautiful shops and eateries ready for the holiday season. Grab a brochure to plan your day on Saturday as some take place at scheduled times. Festival hours on Saturday are 9 am to 7 pm.

Stop by the Information Booth located on the Courthouse Lawn for assistance regarding festival activities.
