Hawley Winterfest is Sooner Than You Think

When it comes to the holidays, no one likes to celebrate more than the residents of Hawley, PA. This idyllic town is a perfect backdrop to an All-American Christmas. Every year, as soon as everyone has awoken from their Thanksgiving induced coma, we all like to get in the spirit of Christmas. As with every year, the town of Hawley will put on its famous Hawley Winterfest, a weekend full of events that brings the community closer and locals and visitors alike ready for the holidays. We at Ledges Hotel also have visitors that love to come to town for this weekend to bring back the spirit of Christmas with them back to their hometown. While the event details for this year haven’t been released yet, we at Ledges Hotel want to share with you why  Hawley Winterfest is so special as well as some of the highlight events from last year.

Every year for the past 22 years there has been a Hawley Winterfest celebration. This year, it will happen December 9-11, 2022. This festival was originally started to showcase Hawley’s Victorian origins and help modern residents and visitors remember a beautiful, simpler time in life. Everyone in Hawley embraces this wonderful tradition and each year tries to make it better.

There are many events throughout Hawley Winterfest weekend that are full of fun. Every year, you will find houses decked out in holiday decorations complete with twinkling lights and a merry spirit. Some of the other fun things to do are listening to Christmas carols, and gingerbread house decorating. You can also shop for your own Christmas Tree during the weekend. There is nothing like picking out the perfect tree for your home and decorating it with your family. Visit the Hawley Silk Mill and enjoy the art and seasonal treats offered. Make sure and be on the lookout for some of the most interesting demonstrations that are offered this weekend. You can leave learning a lot. Also, one of the reasons for the season is giving back. Hawley Winterfest wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Santa! Have breakfast with the Jolly Old Elf on Sunday at our sister property, Silver Birches Resort. The weekend comes to a close with multiple events throughout the day, but be sure to catch the Annual Christmas Show at Ritz Company Playhouse. This free event is loved by all ages.
