Welcome to the Ogden Amphitheater!

Everything You Need to Know about the 2020 Christmas Village

Good news! Christmas Village will light up downtown Ogden Municipal Gardens (353 E 25th Street) beginning November 27, 2020, through January 1, 2021, but it will be slightly different this year.

Christmas lights will still glow in the Village, Gardens, and Cottages, but many of the regular attractions will be postponed until next year.

The theme for 2020 is “Gnome For The Holidays.” Hoodies will be sold at the Ogden Municipal Building - 2549 Washington Blvd on the 2^nd Floor at the Cashiers Desk and at the Ogden Union Station Gift Shop – 2501 Wall Avenue, when Christmas Village opens on November 27, hoodies can be purchased at The Corner, located on the corner of 25^th Street and Washington Blvd, Ogden.

This year’s Honorary Mayors for Christmas Village are Jeff and Beth Furton, owners of Daily Rise Coffee. If you get an opportunity, swing by Daily Rise Coffee, and thank them for their years of contributions to the Christmas Village. They have even created a special drink they will offer all of December called the “Christmas Village.” The Furton’s will be recognized at a City Council meeting on November 17, 2020, and November 27^th, 2020, will be proclaimed as Jeffrey and Beth Furton Day in Ogden City.

We want everyone to have a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season. To keep our community and visitors safe, we ask that you follow these guidelines when visiting Christmas Village:

Wear a mask or face covering at all times
Maintain 6’ social distance from other households/groups
Do not touch the cottages or other areas
Wash or sanitize your hands frequently, especially before and after visiting Christmas Village

We have also CANCELED the following attractions this year, but hope to have them (and new ideas) for 2021:

Holiday Electric Light Parade
Opening Gala
Firework Show
Visits with Santa in his castle
Mrs. Claus tours.
“I Spy” game in the cottages
Entertainment on the stage
Photo-ops
Reindeer appearances
Train Rides
Breakfast with Santa
Hot Chocolate – The Ogden Breakfast Exchange Club has been providing hot chocolate to the visitors of Christmas Village for the past 43 years. Each year, Shoes for Tots benefits from the sales of the hot chocolate.
We encourage anyone who can to donate to Shoes for Tots. They provide shoes to the Ogden/Weber Schoolchildren. Any amount is appreciated. Go to www.ogdenbex.org click on the Donate Button on the Home page. Thank you, Ogden, for your continued support of the fundraiser!

The Christmas Village will work with local artists to record holiday songs to be played as you stroll through the Municipal Gardens. Ogden City Arts, Culture & Events is partnering with Ogden Downtown Alliance to facilitate the recordings.
