This year, Old Fashioned Christmas will not be as traditional as its name implies.

Concluding a year of uncertainty, the Old Fashioned Christmas event that the city of Plymouth knows and loves, like everything else, will not be as traditional as its name implies.

With COVID-related changes and restrictions set in place, the event that welcomes community attendees each year at the Plymouth Creek Park will be held from 2-5 p.m. December 5. In years prior, the event welcomed as many as 1,200 guests and featured special appearances from holiday icons, like Santa Claus, his elves and reindeer, Mrs. Claus and more.

Sponsored by the City of Plymouth and the Plymouth Historical Society, this event, suitable for all ages, is free to the public and does not require registration to attend. Simply make your way to Plymouth Creek Park, savor some holiday delights, get crafty with Christmas handiwork and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year.
