Celebrate German traditions in Old World style at Weihnachtsfest on Nov. 29 in Manning. The Christmas decorations come out of hibernation for this event, which features reindeer and horse-drawn carriage rides every year on the day after Thanksgiving. This year’s fun starts at 5:45 p.m. with the community band and continues at 6 p.m. with a lighted parade on Main Street, where Santa and snowmen plan to arrive on floats.
Stick around to meet Santa in person at the Market Place. You can also indulge in some sweet activities like roasting marshmallows, decorating cookies and warming up with hot apple cider.
