Welcome to Christmas in Barre! We are a non-profit group, run solely by volunteers, committed to decorating Barre's commons and bringing free annual events to residents. As we are not an official Town committee, the majority of the costs for the expenses of the season rely on donations from community members, businesses and organizations, and grants.
Donations can be mailed to:
