In 2025, Tia Segretto, owner of Olives Eatery in Baldwinsville, had a vision to create a new village holiday tradition—one that would complement the beloved Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting while encouraging the community to spend time together throughout the village. In partnership with the Baldwinsville Theatre Guild, that vision became the Baldwinsville Holiday Christmas Tradition.

​

For two festive days each December, participating Baldwinsville businesses and restaurants welcome visitors with special offers on merchandise, food, and drinks while roaming groups of carolers from the Baldwinsville Theatre Guild fill the village with holiday music from the Great American Christmas Songbook. Each group represents a different musical era, from Victorian Christmas through the modern day, with the carolers dressed in costumes that reflect their era and performing holiday favorites from that period.

​

The celebration encourages residents and visitors to shop local, dine local, explore the village, and experience the magic of the season together.

​

The 2026 Baldwinsville Holiday Christmas Tradition will take place December 12 & 13, 2026, bringing two days of music, community, local businesses, and holiday cheer to Baldwinsville.
