ind the perfect holiday gift in the perfect holiday setting! Hundreds of Christmas Lights will illuminate the way as you shop along the cobblestone paths of St. Charles, Missouri on Historic South Main Street. But there's plenty to see and do besides shop; you'll be serenaded by strolling carolers and greeted by a lively cast of Legendary Christmas Characters from around the globe.

Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:45 p.m., just as all the shop keepers begin to close for the night, if you step outside you will see a truly wonderful sight. All of our International Christmas Characters and Carolers process the length of South Main Street using old fashioned wooden lanterns to guide their way as they sing a chorus of the world's most beloved Christmas carols.

Evening Shopping begins on November 27 and continues every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night through December 23nd. Most restaurants and shops will be open until 9:00pm.
