Jefferson City's High Street and downtown area will come alive again this winter, as the annual Living Windows event returns Dec. 3 to the Capital City.
The annual event was canceled last year due to precautions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year, the event will be 6-9 p.m. along High Street in downtown Jefferson City and it is being sponsored by the Jefferson City Convention and Visitor's Bureau and Quaker Windows and Doors.
"Living Windows is a wonderful family event, and we are extremely excited to be playing an active role supporting this year evening of fun, family and shopping" said Bill Sifflard, chief marketing officer of Quaker, which is based in Freeburg.
Quaker will also be manning a booth on High Street so residents and visitors can learn more about Quaker Windows and Doors, as well as the many career opportunities offered at the Freeburg and Eldon campuses.
Downtown Living Windows brings Christmas to life with living window displays including favorites like Santa Claus and a nativity scene.
Since 1988, the event has drawn thousands of visitors to see the festive performances and decorations. It was originally created by former News Tribune marketing director Beth Chisholm, who was inspired by a similar event in Lebanon, Missouri.
In its early years, the event was held to attract crowds to the downtown area. Ever since, the event has meant the beginning of the holiday season for Jefferson City and thousands of people filling the streets and sidewalks of downtown.
