Downtown Fayetteville businesses and stakeholders have made getting festive a friendly competition. Visit the city center throughout the month for a self-guided walking tour of the Art and Entertainment districts’ decorated buildings. As you stroll along, you’ll be treated to an array of holiday delights, such as the festive Holiday Alley on Hay Street. Nearby, children can mail their letters to Santa in a special mailbox.
As you continue on your way in Downtown Fayetteville, you may spot a giant stack of ornaments perfect for capturing portraits or selfies, holiday-themed augmented reality stations, a 4,000 digital projection, and, of course, Fayetteville’s 22-foot Carolina Fir holiday tree. In total, there are 12 major holiday installations throughout the district.
Everyone is invited to vote for their favorite decorations to win the "Viewer's Choice Award." Cast your vote for the Downtown Fayetteville Holiday Winterscape Viewer's Choice Award here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NQD9KH2.
