THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB)- On Nov. 24, the Victorian Christmas Costume Closet is officially scheduled to open to the public inside the City of Thomasville Visitors Center, located at 144 East Jackson St.

Visitors are invited to wear traditional attire, which ties along with the theme of the event. The Costume Closet will be open through Saturday, Dec. 6. The times will be Monday–Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“Wearing Victorian attire adds a special sense of nostalgia and joy to our Victorian Christmas event,” said Brandy Avery, community engagement manager for the City of Thomasville. “It’s heartwarming to see how many visitors return each year ready to dress up and join in the fun.”

The Costume Closet features a wide selection of men’s attire and women’s dresses to help attendees complete their Victorian look.

Costumes are available to rent for $10 per person, plus a refundable $25 deposit, returned when the costume is dry cleaned and brought back with a cleaning receipt and attached tags. All rentals should be returned by Friday, Jan. 16, 2026.

“We’re excited to offer such a variety of options for anyone wanting to elevate their holiday experience,” Avery added. “While costumes are available on a first-come, first-served basis, people are often surprised by how easily they can create a Victorian-inspired outfit using items they already own.”

Victorian Christmas will take place in Downtown Thomasville on Dec. 11 and 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. each evening.
