In and Around Town
- Village of Lights – From Thanksgiving to February, downtown Leavenworth shines bright like a diamond with over half a million lights, on from 6 am until 11 pm daily. There is no charge to visit Leavenworth and see the lights — it’s like free admission to the inside of a snow globe!
- Christmastown – Amidst the Village of Lights, downtown Leavenworth transforms into Christmastown – an idyllic holiday-scape with choirs, carolers, character appearances, family photo stations, gingerbread house displays, free gift-wrapping stations, crafts for kids, story corners, and letter writing to Santa.
- Winter Karneval – We weren’t kidding when we said the fun continues all season! During weekends in January, Leavenworth’s annual Winter Karneval will honor this beloved German tradition dating back to the thirteenth century, commonly called ‘Fasching.’ The festivities will include ice carving and Fireworks over MLK Day weekend.
- Leavenworth Adventure Park – Leavenworth’s hottest attraction provides a Bavarian twist on the classic theme park experience. Open year-round, guests can book tickets in advance or try and snag a same-day pass (warning, they go fast!)

- Leavenworth Reindeer Farm – It turns out they’re real, folks! Guests can hand-feed and interact with the whole herd at the family-run Leavenworth Reindeer Farm.
