Santa’s Mailbox returning to Fredericksburg

The Rappahannock Fredericksburg Rotary Club on November 27 will place a “Santa’s Mailbox” on the corner of Caroline and George streets downtown, and will offer return letters directly from the North Pole.

The red mailbox will be near FORT To-Go through December 19. All letters will receive a note from Santa (be sure to include your return address!).

This is yet another reason to come to downtown Fredericksburg during the holiday season. Here are a few other things to keep on your radar:

• On-street parking spaces that are usually two-hour spaces are four-hour spaces through the holiday season.
• Our annual Window Wonderland contest, which involves solving riddles placed in downtown windows and voting for the most-beautiful displays, is in full swing. Stop by the Visitor Center at 706 Caroline Street for your riddle sheet or click here.
• Mark your calendar for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting on November 20 at Hurkamp Park (4:30 p.m.), Small Business Saturday on November 27, the Christmas Parade on December 4 and the Candlelight Tour on December 10-12.
