Christmas Coming to Mburgh Friday

MIDDLEBURGH -The Christmas season is coming to the Schoharie Valley this week as holiday events begin on Friday in Middleburgh.

The 26th annual Miracle on Main Street will be held Friday from 5:30 to 8:30pm. Stores and eateries will be open late for tastings and Christmas shopping. They will be live animals, reindeer, and parking at the elementary school with a tractor shuttle. 

In addition it will be the community tree lighting, a visit with Santa and his reindeer, student and club performances, caroling princesses, open air music, a petting zoo, a Candy, Cane train, artists and vendors, museum tours, the Grinch and even "Soups-A-Bubblin'" on Main Street.

Miracles abound for this annual Charles Dickens-like event. Dashing into the Christmas season with a blizzard of excitement, this popular event grows with each passing year not only in the hearts of this community but from afar as well. The merriment has spread over the years to include businesses on Wells and Railroad Avenues, Chestnut Lane and Clauverwie Road, and along with Main Street. You can pick up special gifts for loved ones or grab a meal at one of the amazing local restaurants with extended hours. There are many free offerings including a visit with our beloved Santa, a petting zoo, the Candy Cane Express train, and an extra special treat, Santa's LIVE reindeer. Businesses and vendors sell everything from gifts to soups.

This event is organized by the Middleburgh Area Business Association (MABA).

Chestnut Lane will closed that evening to the parking lot behind the Catholic Church for festivities.
