There's still plenty of time until Christmas, but if you can knock out your shopping list early, won't that make everything less stressful? Head to Saint Paul's Episcopal Church between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Saturday for St. Paul's Annual Holiday Bazaar. What should you expect? Cakes, pies, casseroles, breads, crafts, Brunswick Stew and twice-baked potatoes! But be warned, you should come early before it's all sold out!
It's hard to believe, but yes, Santa is making his grand arrival in Lynchburg this weekend. Arrive at 9:45 a.m. at the River Ridge Mall so you don't miss the big man's grand entrance, featuring a parade! Joining St. Nick will be The Salvation Army National Capital Band. The parade is free and open to the public; however, pictures with Santa will cost extra.
With a combination of 12 wineries and cideries on hand, the Thomas Jefferson Wine Festival is something you won't want to miss Saturday.
