1990 Busy Sidewalks (Set of 4) – Heritage Village / Christmas Village Accessories (Department 56 #5535-2 / “Busy Sidewalks”)

The Busy Sidewalks set from Department 56 captures the lively bustle of a holiday village street — shoppers, families, and passersby going about their festive business in the snow. Released in 1990 and retired in 1992, this hand-painted porcelain quartet includes four figures that evoke classic winter scenes: people walking, carrying packages or strolling through a snowy village street, adding life, movement, and atmosphere to any Christmas village layout. As part of the Heritage Village collection, this set adds realism and scale to your display — ideal for placing along village storefronts, streetlamps, or between lit buildings. Whether used with larger buildings or as standalone accent pieces, the Busy Sidewalks set lends your village that “alive and festive city street” energy, making it a favourite among collectors and holiday decorators alike.
