lthough the temperatures were a 
little on the warm side, it didn’t 
stop snow from coming to Dothan 

for the annual Downtown Christmas 
Festival. Hundreds came out for this 
year’s event presented by Metro PCS held 
December 2 on Troy, Foster & St. Andrews 
streets. There were more than 40 vendors 
and local businesses open for shoppers. 

Kids of every age could find something 

to do at the festival. The snow zone offered 
a chance to sled down a hill and was one of 
the most popular places to visit. There was 
also a zip line, bounce houses, rides/games, 
crafts and face painting. 

As always, Santa was there to see 

everyone, but this year the Grinch also 
made an appearance. Carolers were set up 
at Porter Street Park putting everyone in 
the holiday spirit. And, since the festival 
was four hours long, there were plenty of 
places to grab a bite to eat.

The Dothan Downtown Christmas 

Festival is coordinated by the Dothan 
Downtown Redevelopment Authority and 
wouldn’t be possible without help from lots 
of volunteers
