Christmas in Odessa tours set outside Dec. 5

The 56th Annual Christmas in Odessa will be inside out and decked outdoors Saturday, Dec. 5. The Women's Club of Odessa will keep the tradition going while observing social distancing guidelines.

There is no better way to get in the holiday spirit than to stroll through a beautifully decorated Christmas town. Beginning at noon, tours are self-guided to see festively decorated homes and learn about the historical town. Fresh greens will be on sale for attendees to decorate their own homes.

The event will culminate with a tree lighting at 5 p.m. at the Old Academy Building. Tickets will be choose-your-own-price. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to christmasinodessa.eventbrite.com.
