What You and Your Loved Ones Can Do in Mebane for the Christmas Holidays 

Now that the Mebane Christmas Parade has marched into the history books, you’ll need to know some things that you can enjoy with family and friends in this peaceful, little town.  One of the most spectacular sights that you must see at night is the brightly lighted Christmas tree in Veterans Garden.  Stop for a few moments and ponder on the real meaning of Christmas and think about our veterans who have fought for your freedom to enjoy Christmas.  You may also want to remember our military men and women who are currently serving our country away from their own families and friends during this special time of year.

Along with your children and friends, you can take some time to explore downtown Mebane; take a stroll through some of the eclectic antique shops, specialty boutiques, and art galleries.  Whether you grab a snack or a hot beverage at one of the local coffee shops, ice cream parlors, or fine restaurants, you’re sure to be pleased with the delicious fare and the pleasant, Southern hospitality of the wait staff.  You can find homemade cheesecake, fantastic cupcakes, and quaint taverns where you can try a variety of beverages from around the world.  You may want to try a martini, enjoy a glass of good wine, or tap your toes to the live music provided in some of the local establishments on a weekly basis; whatever option you choose is sure to make yours an enjoyable and unforgettable evening.  Make Clay Street one of your destinations as you meander toward Elon with fun and excitement in mind. From delicious homemade milk shakes to sundaes to tempt your taste buds to banana pudding that will melt in your mouth, the cuisine available in Mebane is second to none in the Carolinas.

Another great destination in downtown Mebane is the Mebane Train Museum that features its own Polar Express.  Located at the corner of Lee and Third Streets, the Museum will capture the attention of children of all ages; you will all delight at the magic that unfolds right before your eyes.

There are plenty of activities to keep you engaged here in Mebane and enjoying the Christmas season with your family and friends.  It’s a good idea to remember during this busy season to take a deep breath, enjoy what’s around you, and to remember that there’s no place like home.
