Celebrate the August Candlelight Christmas Walk in Augusta - Missouri
Over 1,000 luminaries light your way throughout Historic Augusta, Missouri the first two Friday nights of December from 5 to ten PM. This annual event has more than a twenty-five year history and has evolved into a ritual for the Augusta community to sponsor.

The town square can heighten your holiday spirit with a horse drawn sleigh ride around the center of town, a toasty bon fire with Chestnuts roasting and marshmallows toasting, and Santa Claus waiting to listen to you Christmas wish-list.
