Christmas is such a cherished time of year in Byrdstown! The Annual Christmas Marketplace at the Library begins on the Friday before the Parade (on Saturday) from 3PM-8PM and re-opens on Saturday at 9AM. Friday night is a time of celebration with the community as well. We gather at the Library area and have outdoor caroling/singing, hotdogs, hot cocoa, and more.
