Plans for the 10th annual Leesburg Nativity Tour are underway -- and we invite you to participate!

 At the center of all the glimmer and glitz of the commercialized Christmas activities and shopping, the Leesburg Nativity Tour seeks to remind shoppers of the historic origins of the Christmas season:  the birth of Jesus Christ!
Our culture loves Christmas:  Let's remind them that Christ loves them!

The Nativity Tour is a self guided tour, similar to a garden tour.  Shops and restaurants in historic Leesburg display their own or a loaned nativity during December.  The public is encouraged by social media, paper flyers, promotional cards, and a mobile app to visit the shops and restaurants to view the nativity, and maybe do some shopping or dinning along the way.
There are many ways to contribute to the growing success of this annual community event.

We are recruiting shops and restaurants to display their own nativity or a loaned nativity  in their public place of business Dec 1 - 31.   Businesses and offices may also participate.  

Do you have a special or unusual nativity you can loan to one of the Merchants for display and share with the public?  We carefully match the nativity with the site and security of the merchant host with each nativity.  

Do you enjoy decorating for Christmas?  We are looking for volunteers to work in teams to place nativities in shops and restaurants during Thanksgiving week, Nov 24-29.    We need volunteers to preview the tour Dec  2-3 to make sure signs are posted and nativities complete and artistically decorated.  

Promote the Leesburg Nativity Tour through bulletin announcements, inserts, emails or power points slides.  Encourage church members to invite friends, neighbors, family and coworkers to take the tour as a way of focusing attention on the reason for the season.  Graphics are available below, in addition the one above to use in your promotions. 

Have your church participate in the Leesburg Christmas Parade as part of a coordinated parade entry telling the story of the Birth of Christ:  Entries needed are: Journey to Bethlehem,  Angels,  Shepherds, Nativity, Wisemen, Historical St. Nicholas, St. Francis of Assisi.  contact [email protected] to get started.  

Plan a mini- nativity tour at your church in conjunction with Christmas services you have planned.  Invite church members to bring their special nativities to display for an single event or for a weekend.
