Deck the Halls 2025
December 6, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
The Concordia Tourism Partners are back again to bring you Deck the Halls! This annual event has been so much fun that we’re continuing the tradition. This year, we’re adding a fun new twist on our theme! Deck the Halls Holiday Market.
Holiday Markets are a big deal in European cities, so we thought it would be fun to bring that experience to our hometown. Tourism Partners will be hosting hand-picked vendors for one day only. Think Farmers Market / Pop Up Shop scattered around town.
As always, each of the Attractions will offer FREE tours from 9am – 1pm.n (Feel free to offer a donation.) There will be shopping, kids activities, photo booths, refreshments, and a chance to enter into a drawing for $100 in Chamber Bucks from the Concordia Chamber of Commerce at each location.
