Opelika's Very Merry Christmas
The holiday season has always been a special time in our quaint railroad town. Decorations and spectacular lights aren’t all that make Opelika the Christmas destination of the South. The town offers many events throughout December, putting citizens and visitors in the holiday spirit. From our Sno*Pelika, to our Victorian Front Porch Tour and Christmas in a Railroad Town, Fa-la-la Festival and horse-drawn carriage rides through the historic district, there is truly no place like Opelika.
Come spend your holiday season along the railroad tracks of Opelika where Christmas is magical and memorable. In Opelika, it’s a Very Merry Christmas year after year.
