Description
Experience twice the Christmas joy with Gadsden’s **Combo Ticket to Christmas at the Falls and Christmas on the Coosa**. This two-part holiday adventure blends the magic of millions of twinkling lights at Noccalula Falls Park with the excitement of real outdoor ice skating downtown along the Coosa River. Start your celebration at **Christmas at the Falls** (Nov 14–Jan 3), where families stroll paved trails lined with dazzling light displays, visit Santa, and hop aboard the park train for sweeping views of the waterfall and festive décor. Add an Express Train Pass for quicker boarding and a bonus ride through the lights. Then, continue the fun with **Christmas on the Coosa** (Nov 28–Dec 23), a sparkling 100×60-foot real ice rink at Riverside Park. Skate beneath the stars, sip hot cocoa from food truck vendors, browse craft booths, and warm up at Frosty’s Cocktail Bar for holiday spirits. Each event brings its own unique small-town charm—one nestled among nature’s beauty, the other along the lively riverside. With flexible date options, visitors can enjoy both experiences on separate nights, making this combo a must for families, couples, and holiday travelers. Celebrate the season Gadsden-style, where Southern hospitality meets Christmas wonder.
