2020 Small Town Christmas Weekend Update

In light of the surging cases of COVID-19, the Banner Elk Chamber of Commerce Board has decided to minimize crowd events for the holiday season. As a result, the Chamber is hosting only the Annual Christmas Tree Festival and the Letters to Santa Mailbox at the Chamber Visitor Center this year. Learn more below. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to returning to the full slate of festive holiday events next year!
