The Santa Lucia is a song stemming from Swedish Christmas tradition, directly connected to the European roots that this popular celebration honors. The vendors within Strousse Park\u2019s wooden booths are a great draw and put the \u201cmarket\u201d in Georgetown Christmas Market. <\/span><\/p>\nChristmas Market Vendors <\/span><\/h2>\nAlong the southeast perimeter of Strousse Park are vendors of all kinds selling delicious or charming goods from the booths that wait anxiously for the occasion. You can find anything your festive heart may desire amongst these vendors! From homemade jellies and spiced wines to hand crafted ornaments and pine scented candles, transactions and conversations with these vendors feel like a trip back into time. Most of them are local to Colorado but don’t be surprised if you run into someone offering eyebrow waxing from Arlington, WA.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nThe Christmas spirit is alive and flowing with the winter wind, encapsulating the experience\u2019s energy. It\u2019s impossible not to smile at the bundled up vendors, waiting for you to ask them what they have for purchase and about the love they put into making it for you. You may not find what\u2019s available for purchase anywhere else, or at any other time of year \u2014 that\u2019s what makes the vendors and their goods so special! <\/span><\/p>\nDowntown Georgetown, Colorado<\/span><\/h2>\nAlthough Strousse Park is the central location of the Christmas Market celebration, the town of Georgetown is always bustling with many Christmas themed activities.

At night, the Christmas lights throughout town shine so bright, they illuminate the mountains that surround the tiny town.
