Events in Alvin

The Christmas Train

You can't have Christmas in Alvin without chugging hot chocolate, chewing on cookies, and chugga-chugga choo-chooing on The Christmas Train. The Christmas Train, an annual tradition in the city. takes guests on an immersive North Pole adventure with twinkling lights, storytelling, character encounters, and visits with Santa. It's become a cherished holiday event. So cherished, in fact, that advance tickets are recommended since it tends to sell out.

Froberg's Farm Fall Festival

What's more fun than jumping into a pile of leaves? Froberg's Farm Fall Festival, that's what!
