The Winter Village In Illinois That Will Enchant You Beyond Words
The Arboretum in Bethalto has transformed into a winter wonderland of glass cottages filled with Christmas characters, wire art, a nativity, and trees all aglow with twinkling lights. The Bethalto Christmas Village is pure magic to stroll through! This free event is organized and put together by residents, businesses, and organizations of the community.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate






These are the "Giving Trees," which are each marked with the name of the individual(s) who sponsored the tree. They're on display at the Arboretum until a week before Christmas, then they're removed and donated to families who otherwise would not have a tree for the holiday.
Bring the kids to this free, family-friendly event that will enchant you and create holiday memories for years to come!
