Holiday Activities
Walkway of Lights
295 arches total, 17,700 light bulbs, 1 mile long! Grab a snack and walk through the newly expanded Walkway of Lights. That runs from Yoder’s Shopping Center to the Blue Gate Garden Inn and E&S Sales to Our Front Porch!
Shipshewana Lights of Joy
A drive-through light display experience is now home to more than two million LED Christmas lights displayed in a mile and a half long symphony of colorful light scenes for this upcoming holiday season.
FREE Selfie Stations
From the skiing polar bear at the Shipshewana Craft Barn to the IN Indiana Selfie machine at the Visitors Center, to the hundreds of other fun angles you can find to help light up your Christmas season! Use #VisitShipshewana when posting!
Wana Night Out
Mark your calendar for December 3, 2024 and make a night of it with your girlfriends and shop Shipshewana for some great deals as the gift-giving season is coming up. Sale hours will vary from store to store. Some sales last all day long while others will just have sales in the evening. It’s a rare night in Shipshewana when some of the stores stay open until 8:00 pm – but we do it for the biggest town-wide sale of the year!
Breakfast with Santa
Guests who join Santa for breakfast at the Blue Gate will enjoy a fun breakfast, story-time with Santa, crafts, and each child will have their own individual time to tell Santa what they want for Christmas. Expect a beautiful and fun experience with music, laughter, and lots of special surprises! Pick your date: December 7, 14 or 21, 2024
Catch a Show
Over 300 shows, 100 artists and outstanding Amish Musicals, the Blue Gate is the best place for entertainment in Shipshewana and a household name in the Midwest. Check out the holiday themed concerts and musicals!
