Deck the Depot

Saunter over to Berwyn’s Depot District on Saturday, December 14 from 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. for Deck the Depot, a brisk
holiday walk through Berwyn’s downtown Winter Wonderland complete with lights,
live reindeer and a petting zoo at the Municipal Parking Facility. Let Santa
know what’s on your wish list and then get a complimentary photo with the Big Man in Red at Bounce Sports. Snuggle up on a horse-drawn sleigh ride or a
hayride (Windsor & Grove Ave). Relax to the sounds of Carolers. For those
who prefer a traditional chauffeur, a heated trolley will also make stops at
all of the Open Houses.  Best of all, even the “naughty” will be treated
like the “nice” as all of the event’s aforementioned features are family-friendly and free.


Opening Ceremony will take place at 5:15 p.m. at the “Berwyn” Train Depot at
Windsor & Grove. Pick up an event punch card and enter our event raffle by
visiting Bounce Sports.


Depot District merchants will stay open late to offer complimentary goodies,

holiday specials and cheer to all who visit. Don’t forget that holiday shopping

list! As an extra incentive, the event will feature a special drawing worth

over $200 for adults 21+ who spend $10 in the Depot District and have the event passport “punched” by all of the participating open houses!
