Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on weekends, especially in December, to enjoy the full festive atmosphere and find the best selection from the artisan vendors.
- Check the Tuscan Village website or social media for any special event schedules, such as Santa visits or live music, that might coincide with your visit.
- Consider visiting on a Thursday or Friday evening for a potentially less crowded experience while still enjoying the holiday ambiance.
- Plan to explore the surrounding shops and restaurants at Tuscan Village before or after visiting the Holiday Shoppes to make a full day of it.
- Bring cash for smaller purchases from artisans, though many may accept cards. Gift cards and lottery tickets for the raffle trees should be copies; originals are held by the festival board.
