Yorktown is fortunate enough to have the perfect setting for holiday mirth. What’s better than immersing yourself in an 18th-century Christmas celebration, riding the Riverwalk Polar Express and enjoying hot chocolate while the lighted boat parade goes by on the York River, all close to home?

You can do all that and more in Yorktown around the holiday season, thanks to the natural and historical riches afforded this waterfront town and many dedicated people who have nurtured its community spirit over the years.

Our next edition of Yorktown Independent will hit the streets very close to Christmas Day, so we want to take this opportunity to wish all of our readers a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season, however you choose to celebrate.
