On episode 60, we drive to California gold country to see how Nevada City celebrates Victorian Christmas.  

This annual event fills the air with the spirit of a Victorian Christmas. The aroma of roasted chestnuts fills the air. Sounds of Christmas songs are provided by carolers and musicians. The streets are lined with street vendors selling their wares. And in the evening, a magical ambience emerges as the lamp-lit streets and glowing Christmas decorations sparkle as the sun sets and the dark skies of winter settle on the city.

We share our experience visiting Nevada City for the holiday season. There was plenty of holiday cheer and good tidings. We even had an encounter with Icelandic elves who were checking to see who was naughty or nice.

Our afternoon was filled with live entertainment, yuletide treats and libations, and Father Christmas!

Nevada City is a great place to visit before Christmas.  But there are more activities in the historic downtown area throughout the year. We share additional times you may want to mark on your calendar to visit this historic town.

Be sure to visit the city website prior to your visit. There seems to be something happening throughout the year.  You can plan a trip when a local event catches your interest.

You can find the Nevada City Calendar of Events here:

https://www.nevadacitychamber.com/nevada-city-events/calendar-of-events/

There's lots to see and do in Nevada City including several museums, hotels, shopping, and restaurants.
