Bondurant Holiday Guide

Celebrate the Holidays in Bondurant

A small community with big holiday celebrations, Bondurant is full of festive surprises throughout December and into January, as well! Shop local, eat and drink local and celebrate the holidays local in Bondurant. Here’s how …

• What To Do: Buy your holiday tree and support a local farm this year in Bondurant, such as The Little Farm on 46th or Pinkley’s Christmas Trees. And planning ahead to your New Year resolution, consider starting a membership to local gym, BrickHouse Fitness, before the post-holiday rush! The gym is also holding several special events in December including a Pickleball Toys for Tots Drive and a Holiday Hoops basketball tournament open for 7th and 8th graders.
• Where to Shop: Little House on Main is great local spot to snag some holiday gifts or treat yourself to some new holiday home décor. For the sewing-fiend in your family, snag something special from Off the Rails Quilting & Yard Nook. For everyone else, a gift card will do the trick such as Reclaimed Rails Brewing Company, Somewhere in the Middle Coffee Shop or Founders Irish Pub Bar & Restaurant. Pro tip: Wow your holiday guests with a tasty dessert from local Bondurant bakery, Home Slice Handmade Pies. Explore this broad list of Chamber businesses in Bondurant.
• Don’t Miss This: Bondurant’s Merry & Bright Celebration is set for Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024! The event will feature rides on a horse-drawn carriage, carolers, a tree-lighting ceremony and lighted parade. Stop by the Bondurant Indoor Market & Vendor Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Bondurant-Farrar Junior High School, where you’ll find gifts and décor, food and much more. Then, beeline over to the Bondurant Library for Santa’s Workshop and hot cocoa from 3 to 5 p.m. — all taking place on the same day. For a kid-friendly NYE, mark your calendar for a Noon Year’s Eve Party at the library on Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024.
