"Magic on the Mountain" is the name given to Payson's Holiday festivities.

Swiss Village Shopping Center, in Payson, has their annual Christmas Lighting tonight (Friday, November 28th) starting about 5:30 pm. There will be caroling, a live Nativity scene, Santa, and various "open house" touches in stores. The festivities continue Saturday and Sunday.

"Magic on the Mountain" is the official name for the holiday festivities in Payson, I'll add more about what's coming soon. Gotta go get out our Christmas wreath for the office!

We went to the above event, but it was kind of a "bust". It had rained all day, and not too many people showed up. The following events are predicted for NICE weather.

BUT COMING:

Christmas wreathPayson's  Electric Light Parade is Saturday, Dec. 6th (this weekend!) on Main Street. For a small town, we have a nice parade. It is COLD, so bundle up. There is hot chocolate and coffee available to purchase. The parade starts from the Sawmill Crossing shopping center (Beeline and Main St.) and goes West on Main. We usually got to dinner in the shopping center and then walk on over to see the parade.

Also this weekend is the annual "Toys for Tamales", held Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm. I just found out- the location on this one has been changed to Gerardo's- a restaurant on Beeline Hwy. in the center of Payson.  Bring a new toy for a plate of tamales.

 

 

 

poinsettiaOn Sunday, Dec. 7th, there will be a Christmas show "The Spirit of Christmas"  at the High School auditorium. The show is free admission, but please bring donations for the local food bank. Shows are at 2pm and 6pm.

On the next Saturday, Dec. 13th, in Green Valley Park, there will be a Santa's Workshop for viewing and picture taking, and at dark the Holiday Boat Regatta will take to the man-made lake. This down Main Street.

Leslie, I just love Payson and have played golf there several times. I will have to check it out in the winter some time. Thanks for the post...
