Step into a winter wonderland in historic Downtown Grass Valley as we celebrate the magic of the season with Cornish Christmas — a cherished tradition that brings our community together with warmth, light, and holiday cheer. Greet Santa Claus, sample delicious treats and festive cheer
Friday evenings from November 28th-December 19th!

Cornish Christmas runs every Friday Night through December 19th, 6-9PM

Held on select Friday evenings beginning the day after Thanksgiving, and each successive Friday through December 19th, Cornish Christmas transforms Mill and Main Streets into a festive marketplace filled with twinkling lights, local artisans, seasonal treats, carolers, and live music. Stroll the beautifully decorated streets, savor hot cider, and revel in the joyful sights and sounds of the holidays — all while honoring the Cornish heritage that helped shape our town during the Gold Rush era.

This free, family-friendly event captures the spirit of an old-fashioned Christmas and welcomes locals and visitors alike to share in the magic. Whether it’s your first time or your favorite annual tradition, Cornish Christmas is the perfect way to celebrate the season in true Grass Valley style.
