It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and that’s certainly the case if you’re at the Enchanted Village in Avon.
Tucked inside Jordan’s Furniture, this free attraction provides nostalgic fun for the whole family. Older friends and relatives might remember the days when the village was on display at the Downtown Crossing location of Jordan Marsh.

The department store closed the village in 1972 and it wasn’t accessible to the public again until 1990.

That means a whole generation of Bostonians missed out on this charming tradition!

Wander past the village scenes, which have been restored to their former glory.

Even the people lining up at the post office look happy, so clearly some magic is at work here!

For the grand finale, check out LITE, a 15-minute long laser and special effects show that runs from November 18, 2017 through January 1, 2018. It costs $6.00 per person.
