Hometown Holiday Celebration

Hometown Holiday in Historic Downtown Adel Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in Historic Downtown Adel during our annual Hometown Holiday celebration! Kick off the festivities on Friday, December 4, with an evening filled with holiday magic. Gather around the town square for the festive Tree Lighting Ceremony as thousands of sparkling lights bring downtown to life. Then explore our charming brick streets during the Sip & Sample, where local businesses open their doors with festive treats, holiday specials, and unique shopping experiences. Children can visit with Santa, share their Christmas wishes, and capture treasured holiday photos while families enjoy seasonal music, cheerful activities, and the warmth of a true small-town Christmas. Make it a holiday weekend by returning on Saturday, December 5, to shop local and discover one-of-a-kind gifts from Adel's boutiques, specialty shops, and artisans. Enjoy cozy cafés, delicious restaurants, and the welcoming atmosphere that makes Historic Downtown Adel a favorite holiday destination. Whether you're starting a new tradition or continuing a cherished one, Hometown Holiday is the perfect place to experience the joy, charm, and spirit of the season.
