Holiday Lantern Walk 2026

Batavia MainStreet's Holiday Lantern Walk is Friday, Nov. 13, from 5 to 9 p.m. More than 30 downtown businesses stay open late with holiday decorations, a holiday trolley carries shoppers from one side of town to the other, and a lantern trail leads from shop to shop. Participating businesses include Batavia Creamery, Batavia Popcorn Depot, Bocaditos Cafe, Gammon Coach House, Geneva Winery, Kitty Cocoa Cafe, Limestone Coffee & Tea, Red Hive Market, Sturdy Shelter Brewing, Warehouse 55, WindMill Grille & Pizzeria and more; the full list is on the event page. The $25 wine tickets (new for 2026, 1 oz. pours at 12 businesses for adults 21 and older) are sold out, Batavia MainStreet says. Ticket holders need a valid ID at check-in. Browsing the shops and riding the trolley are free and do not require a ticket. Organizer: Batavia MainStreet, 630-761-3528, info@downtownbatavia.com.
