Visit Historic Burlington Friday, Dec. 2 through Sunday, Dec. 4, for a weekend filled with holiday excitement.
On Friday night, warm up with hot chocolate and donuts by the gazebo, compliments of Linnemann Funeral Home, and listen to live Christmas music provided by Bowman Music students while waiting for the festivities to begin. Santa will arrive at 6:30 p.m., just in time for the Burlington Tree Lighting.
The Burlington family-owned and operated restaurants will be open for holiday dining and drinks all weekend. The Boone County Historical Society will have a 1950s exhibit of toys and dolls, as well as an American Flyer train and railroad on display in the old County Clerk’s building on Friday and Saturday.
