Stroll into The Lodge of Townsend

Kick off the Holiday Season with one of Townsend’s most beloved community traditions, the Christmas Stroll, on December 7 from 3:30-7:30. Enjoy hayrides, caroling, shopping for treasured gifts and visiting with friends and family. Following the festivities of the Christmas Stroll, kick up your heels and start a new tradition at The Lodge of Townsend.

The Lodge is Townsend’s newest community gathering center and will offer strollers of all ages a chance to come inside and check their luck with the posting of script money prize numbers. In addition, there will be the musical renderings of The Mark Dixon and Laurie Zupan Jazz Trio, featuring Ken Taylor on drums. Plan to stay awhile and dance while enjoying a bit of Christmas Cheer at the beer and wine bar. All proceeds from the bar help to benefit the Townsend Rider’s Horse Club.

The Lodge is located just off Broadway at 131 S Spruce Street. We hope to see you there!
