A Shipshewana Christmas

Shipshewana is magical at Christmas…

The entire small town of Shipshewana is lit up with beautiful Christmas lights during the holidays and looks like something straight out of a Hallmark Christmas movie! The Christmas celebrations here truly showcase the town’s small-town charm and kind-hearted people, as well as its bright and sparkling Yuletide joy.

We’d like to invite you to experience everything the holidays have to offer in Shipshewana, Indiana! We can’t promise snow, but we can promise a magical Christmas experience that you won’t find anywhere else.

While you’re here for some of our larger events, you could also:

• Stay at one of the beautiful inns or an Amish-owned B&Bs all decked out for the holidays.
• Have a shopping experience unlike any other: unique, artisan-created gifts and foods, as well as antiques, collectibles, and anything else you’re looking for, all in one picturesque small town.
• Visit shops owned by Amish and Mennonites, learn about their cultures, and how they celebrate this wonderful time of year.
• Try a ride on the indoor, 100-year-old, fully restored indoor carousel on the top floor of the Davis Mercantile! You can take selfies on a beautiful hand-carved and hand-painted horse and enjoy all the other scenic photo opportunities.
• Have delicious meals, including traditional Amish dinners and desserts. Then grab some hand-made baked goods or a treat from the candy store to take home!
• Take a carriage ride through the scenic lights of Downtown Shipshewana.
• Attend one of the world-class Concerts at the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center.
