Main Street Station Holiday Open House December 4, 2009

The City of Richmond welcomes all for a Holiday Open House with a Polar Express theme, free children train rides, hot cider and cookies, decorations, tree lighting and live entertainment with “The Angels.”

Enjoy the gorgeous restored glory of Main Street Station and explore the lighted “Cathedral Walk” at the Plaza at Main Street Station and celebrate the holiday season.

This year’s event will focus on literacy. Professional storytellers will be on hand to read to children, as they enjoy cookies and cider by the fireplace.

Come early, the Richmond Public Library will also donate books to the first 300 children in attendance! New this year, an exhibition of holiday cards from metro Richmond area public and private schools. The giant cards, each created from wooden doors, are creatively designed and painted by art classes and clubs in schools from the City of Richmond, Chesterfield, Henrico and Hanover counties, and private schools.

Event parking is only $2 and will be available on the west side of the station using the Franklin Street entrance. Additional non-event parking is available within the Plaza using the Main and Cary Street entrances.

Don’t miss the holiday fun! For more information, call (804) 646-5665.
