Cornish Christmas – A Grass Valley CA Tradition

Recapture the spirit of Christmas past amid the charming surroundings of historic downtown Grass Valley California during the annual Cornish Christmas Celebration.

Started in 1967 as a way to preserve Grass Valley’s Cornish heritage and holiday traditions, Cornish Christmas remains one of our most popular events. Mill and West Main Streets are closed to motorized traffic and filled with the sights and sounds of an old-fashioned Christmas; carolers, jugglers, musicians, the Grass Valley Cornish Carol Choir, Thunderfoot Cloggers, Nevada Union Choir, Sierra Cappella, and more to be announced! Santa Claus can be visited at Three Lilies Photography. Mrs. Clause will be roaming the streets. Handmade arts and craft from artists throughout California are displayed on our historic downtown Grass Valley streets. Delicious food and drink can be purchased from a number of Grass Valley restaurants and specialty food vendors.
The 51st year of Cornish Christmas!
