This year, both of these amazing events are on the same day and completely free! We know everyone's feeling the pinch, and this is our way of saying thank you for all the love and support you've shown our town. What is the Holiday Treat Trail? The Holiday Treat Trail is your ticket to a day of delicious holiday fun in Grafton! It's a festive stroll through our charming town where you'll get to visit participating businesses and receive a unique, homemade or gourmet holiday treat and a delicious beverage from each one. Here’s how it works: Get a Free Ticket: The first 300 people to arrive at The Loading Dock between 11 AM and 1 PM get a free ticket and a punch card. Once they're gone, they're gone, so plan to get here early! Start the Trail: Stroll throughout town until 5 PM, visiting all the participating businesses, getting your card punched at each stop, and exploring everything each shop has to offer! Collect Your Goodies: You'll collect a variety of tasty treats and festive drinks in your complimentary Grafton, Illinois tote bag, compliments of the Grafton Chamber of Commerce. This tote is also perfect for toting around any early Christmas gifts you find while shopping at our amazing local boutiques and gift shops! The Prize Package: Once your punch card is full, drop it in one of the collection boxes at The Loading Dock and other locations around town to be announced to be entered to win an epic Grafton Prize Package with donations from all participating businesses! Santa is here! Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be at The Loading Dock during registration for free selfies! A Free Day of Holiday Fun! That's right, both the Treat Trail and the Winter Lights Parade are our gifts to you. This is your chance to enjoy a day of festive fun without spending a dime on tickets. The Treat Trail spots are limited to the first 300 people to register, so you'll want to get here early to snag one! After your day of treats and exploration, stick around for our dazzling annual Winter Lights Parade, happening that same evening. The drawing for the grand prize will be announced live on the air with RiverBender.com at the end of the Grafton Winter Lights Parade! It’s the perfect way to light up the night and end an unforgettable day. Plan ahead and browse our featured lodging options online at GraftonIllinois.com Want to Get Involved?
