Victorian Christmas Stroll.

Tampa’s favorite holiday tradition returns with the 41st Annual Victorian Christmas Stroll! What began 40 years ago as a small celebration of Christmas lights has grown into one of Tampa’s most popular holiday attractions. Visitors and residents can enjoy the magic of Christmas past, with a month-long display of extravagance at the Henry P. Plant Museum.

With a variety of delightful themes and displays in each exhibit room, the 41st Annual Victorian Christmas Stroll is guaranteed to be packed this year. Antique ornament displays, dazzling lights, and complimentary Christmas snacks are all available at the Henry B. Plant Museum. It is a perfect family-friendly evening to get everyone in the holiday spirit.

The Stroll celebrates the warmth and spirit of an old-fashioned holiday, while encouraging a sense of community. Complimentary cider and cookies will be served on the veranda each day while live holiday music is presented through various acts sponsored by the museum. The Museum gift shop will also be open and features beautiful holiday gifts and stocking stuffers for the season.
