Experience the holiday magic of Christmas on the Coosa, one of Wetumpka's most beloved annual traditions! Join us Saturday, December 12, 2026, for a day of festive fun along the banks of the beautiful Coosa River at Gold Star Park.

This year's theme, "Lights, Camera, Christmas!" brings Hollywood-inspired holiday cheer to this cherished celebration. Enjoy live entertainment, arts and crafts vendors, delicious food, children's activities, a classic car show, and plenty of Christmas spirit in a scenic riverfront setting.

As evening falls, enjoy the illuminated Christmas parade before gathering along the riverfront for one of Wetumpka's most anticipated traditions: Skiing Santa making his unforgettable appearance on the Coosa River, followed by a spectacular fireworks finale!

While visiting, explore Wetumpka's charming historic downtown, unique shops, and local restaurants.
