Homestead for the Holidays

December 10, 2026 @ 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Overview

Enjoy a sampler breakfast for supper, Storytime with Mrs. Claus, and get your picture made with Santa and Rudolph! Take a stroll through our holiday-decorated Small Town and see many demonstrators, visit the Fortenberry-Parkman Farmstead and experience Christmas during the late 1800s.

Carousel, train, and wagon rides will be available as well as hands-on historic crafts and live music while you enjoy your breakfast sampler. Make sure to write a letter to Santa on one of our limited-edition postcards, printed in the Small Town Print Shop. Stop by the General Store for an old-fashioned glass bottle drink and browse the wares and unique Mississippi made products that make great gifts and stocking stuffers!

We hope you will join us for this wonderful time of community and coming together and enjoy the warmth that an old-fashioned holiday celebration creates! Homestead for the Holidays is sponsored in part by the Mississippi Egg Marketing Board, the Mississippi Beef Council, Cal-Maine Foods Inc., The Dairy Alliance, and Polk’s Meat Products.
