Almost 40 years. November 21, 5–8 p.m.

For nearly four decades, the Hometown Holidays Christmas Walk has ushered in the holiday season in Rock Falls with festive charm. Downtown businesses and organizations create a winter wonderland with activities, decorations, and photo-worthy moments.

Visitors can enjoy free treats and cocoa, food vendors, live music, entertainment, horse-drawn carriage rides, and open houses. The evening also includes the annual Love Light Ceremony, honoring the memory of lost loved ones, and the popular $1,000 giveaway.

And of course, no holiday celebration would be complete without a visit from Santa.
