When do you feel like the holiday season has officially started here in Montana? Some folks are ready to listen to Christmas tunes before Halloween, while others start their shopping lists in mid-December. But if you happen to live near Bozeman, you know exactly when the most wonderful time of the year kicks off—and it’s always the day of the annual Bozeman Christmas Stroll. Grab your heavy coats and head to Main Street, because this annual tradition is on the horizon.
Downtown Bozeman is beautiful in any season, but as fall fades to winter, it looks especially inviting.

Every year, Main Street is transformed into a holiday paradise that looks straight out of a Hallmark Christmas movie.

This year’s stroll is special—it’s the 41st year that Downtown Bozeman has hosted the event.

The Bozeman Christmas Stroll kicks off on Saturday, December 4th, at 3:30 p.m.

First, Santa Claus himself works his way from the Emerson Cultural Center down Main Street, singing Christmas carols and helping everyone get into the holiday spirit.

After the parade, enjoy the Winter Circus Village, gingerbread house contest, holiday shopping, snacks, and songs.
