Grand Geneva kicking off 21st annual Christmas in the Country

The public is invited to Grand Geneva Resort on Sunday, Nov. 22 for the kickoff of the annual six-week long Christmas in the Country Celebration. The staff will flip the switch on more than 2 million lights throughout the property, then follow it up with a dazzling grand fireworks display to kick off the holiday season. Discover even more holiday magic this season with all-new kids activity stations and live entertainment throughout the Grand Ballroom, Evergreen Ballroom and the Lobby. Enjoy holiday cookies and hot apple cider too.

The resort asks that all guests bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Kids in partnership with the Walworth County Deputy Sheriffs Department.

Activities begin at 4:3o p.m. in the Grand Ballroom, Evergreen Ballroom and the Lobby. Photos with Santa begin at 4:30 p.m. in the Evergreen Ballroom. Raffles by the Walworth County Deputy Sheriffs Department for Toys for Kids to support kids in need in Walworth County.

Vote on your favorite holiday tree decorated by United Way agencies of Walworth County. Gather outside by the large Christmas tree at 6 p.m. for prize winners and the countdown to the illumination of holiday lights and fireworks. All are welcome to come back inside after fireworks for more games and activities and photos with Santa.

Special $99 room rates available for Sunday, Nov. 22.
