Loudoun County Festive Weekend Events




Get out and enjoy life with all the events, festivals and fun Loudoun County has to offer! There are multiple things to do from Cooking Exchanges to the Jump into the Holiday celebration. You and your kids can even have breakfast with Santa. So get out and embrace the festivies of the last weekend before Christmas!

North Pole Follies
Friday-Saturday, 7pm
Sunday, 3pm

Bring the family for this fast paced, high energy variety show featuring local singers, dancers, and hometown celebrities. It is a week before Christmas inside Santa's North Pole toy workshop and the elves have noticed that Santa seems sad. One energetic elf convinces the others that the best way to cheer up Santa is to put on a show for him. With the help of the audience, deputized as elf assistants, the lead elf sets out to find just the perfect talent to make Santa smile again. Each night will be a benefit for a different local fire company, so come out, have fun, and support our local heroes.
