LEAVENWORTH HISTORY The town of Leavenworth, is a Bavarian theme town that sits nestled among beautiful alpine forests in the Cascade Mountains of north central Washington. The original town was built in 1890, but didn't begin to flourish until the Great Northern Railway Company arrived in Leavenworth at the end of the century bringing a thriving logging and sawmill industry. When the railway was re-routed it meant the closing of sawmills, and the town went from a bustling community to one struggling to survive.

A look at the scenery around Leavenworth sparked the first hint at what they could do. The alpine hills were reminiscent of the Bavarian Alps and this led to the community banding together and creating their own Bavarian inspired village. As a community effort, the town worked together to ensure that buildings, scenery and everything in the area looked like it came straight from Bavaria.

LEAVENWORTH HISTORY The town of Leavenworth, is a Bavarian theme town that sits nestled among beautiful alpine forests in the Cascade Mountains of north central Washington. The original town was built in 1890, but didn't begin to flourish until the Great Northern Railway Company arrived in Leavenworth at the end of the century bringing a thriving logging and sawmill industry. When the railway was re-routed it meant the closing of sawmills, and the town went from a bustling community to one struggling to survive.

A look at the scenery around Leavenworth sparked the first hint at what they could do. The alpine hills were reminiscent of the Bavarian Alps and this led to the community banding together and creating their own Bavarian inspired village. As a community effort, the town worked together to ensure that buildings, scenery and everything in the area looked like it came straight from Bavaria.

Knowing they needed to add interest to the area, the community set out to begin a unique Christmas Celebration that is now considered to be among the best in the world. To this day, the Christmas Lighting Ceremony is among the most popular in the United States and to accommodate the demand, the once annual festival is now done over the course of the first three weekends in December.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTING FESTIVAL The Tree Lighting Festival in Leavenworth draws people from all over Washington State, and in fact all over the country each holiday season, and with good reason. Leavenworth transforms itself into a winter wonderland straight from a child's storybook.

With the help of national media coverage, the popularity of this event is mushrooming. More and more people flock to this incredible Bavarian village each year to celebrate Christmas in old world style. As you stroll down the street you can enjoy many old fashioned treats such as chestnuts that are freshly roasted, homemade hot chocolate, and you may be greeted by a host of Christmas figures such as St. Nicklaus, or Santa and Mrs. Claus. As you visit the quaint shops you are serenaded by live music coming from the gazebo in the center of the town. On Saturday and Sunday of each weekend the Lighting Ceremony starts at 4:30pm.

Just as dusk falls, a hush comes over the village and one by one the town's buildings, trees, and the gazebo come to life with lights in every color of the rainbow, and the villagers and visitors all come together to sing Silent Night. Appropriately dubbed "The Ultimate Holiday Town" by A&E Network, and featured by Good Morning America in 2006 and 2007, Leavenworth is the town to visit if you want to experience to true magic of the holiday season.
