Moulton’s Live Christmas Trail Welcomes Visitors Beginning Dec. 7

Decatur, Ala. (October 30, 2023) – Beginning Dec. 7, 2023, locals and visitors are invited to join in on the spirit of the holiday season with the annual Christmas on the Square, a magical stroll among a beautiful display of live Christmas trees trimmed in festive decorations. Due to renovation work at the Lawrence County Courthouse, the month-long event will take place this year at the Lions Club located at 455 School Street in Moulton. Admission is free.

Christmas on the Square is a display of uniquely decorated Christmas trees, sponsored and decorated by individuals, groups and businesses from Lawrence County and the surrounding area. The trail also features various photo backdrops or selfie stations to document the magical Christmas experience.

Additional free activities to add to the festive fun are planned Friday, Dec. 8 and Friday, Dec. 15 at 6 p.m. and include carriage rides, a petting zoo, sipping on hot chocolate, Santa Claus, train rides, snacking on popcorn and cotton candy and face painting. Food trucks will be on hand for anyone arriving hungry and for a nominal fee, festival goers can participate in bingo.

The last night to view the beautifully decorated trees lit up is Dec. 31, 2023. Admission is free.

For more information, visit Lawrence County Christmas on the Square on Facebook or contact the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce at 256-974-1658 or the Lawrence County Commission at 256-974-0663.
