Christmas Open House at the Town of Madrid

Christmas Open House in Madrid

Shop for original holiday gifts during the Madrid Christmas Open House, when local galleries, boutiques and other local businesses welcome you with refreshments and good cheer.

Every full weekend from Saturday, December 7 through Sunday, December 22.

Madrid’s madcap Christmas Parade is a sight to behold. Merrily costumed residents, festooned burros, and dressed-up dogs stroll through this historic mining town or ride in vintage cars. Don’t miss the beloved red-nosed yak. After the parade, the annual holiday house lighting throughout the town pays tribute to Madrid’s historical lighting displays of its 20th-century mining era. The parade kicks off at 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 7.

Recommended Lodging

Yurts At Hyde Memorial State Park

Connect with the heart of nature in Hyde Memorial State Park's ponderosa pine mountain forest, where three yurts provide a unique lodging experience that's rooted in an ancient nomadic tradition. Each yurt contains six single beds that can be grouped together in various configurations. Kick back in your outside activity area, with a fire ring, dining table and food safe, to keep the critters away. Vault toilets and water are just a short walk away.

Once you've checked in to this authentically restored hacienda, you’ll never want to leave.
