The 44th Annual Christmas Stroll in Downtown Bozeman transformed Main Street into a winter wonderland - brimming with festive activities and holiday cheer! Thousands of attendees gathered along Main Street to experience this beloved tradition, kicking off with the spectacular Santa Parade, which delighted children and adults alike as Santa himself lit up the holiday spiders with the power of song.
Every Christmas Stroll, the businesses of Downtown Bozeman are invited to participate in two fun ways: they can host an festive In-Store Activity during the Stroll or they may choose to enter our Window Decorating Contest!
