In fact, there’s one place in Alaska that transforms into a delightful little Christmas elf village every year and it’s become a must-visit destination for families. Both young and old will be totally mesmerized by the holiday cheer that Christmas Towne contains so be sure to add this to your bucket list this holiday season. This is truly unlike any other Christmas-themed attraction in the state.
In the past, Camp Gorsuch in Chugiak has taken on an entirely new personality when it transforms into Christmas Towne during the winter. Christmas Towne has a new location this year but it’s bound to be just as magical.

Christmas Towne is the result of one local family’s love for the wonderful memories that are made during the holiday season. The owner, Cortney Moore, wanted to create a place where kids could come and experience the real magic of Christmas. The event will take place for the third time this December and it must not be missed.
