Christmas Open House in 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.
