The official Christmas Lighting in Leavenworth doesn't begin for another two weeks, but you wouldn't know it by taking a look around town this weekend!
Leavenworth, is a 2,000 person, Bavarian-themed town, located in the central Cascades two hours east of Seattle. The town was originally home to the Great Northern Railroad. When the railroad moved to Wenatchee, the town struggled. In 1962, Project LIFE - Leavenworth Improvement For Everyone, transformed the entire town into a Bavarian village, with tourism as the focus. Today, Leavenworth's celebrations include a Christmas tree lighting, an International Accordian Celebration, a Kinderfest and the world's most attended Oktoberfest outside of Germany.
This is what the lights of downtown Leavenworth look like when you go really fast through the center of town.
