The holiday season is
the best part of winter. I love the decorations, festivities and music in the
air. Lucky for me, Eastern States Exposition appreciates the holidays too and
is bringing Christmas cheer to the fairgrounds with a couple of special winter
productions.
Perhaps you’ve heard
of our upcoming event, Yuletide at Storrowton. Once a year, ESE’s historic
Storrowton Village is transformed into a 19th century winter
festival for the whole community to enjoy.
Through the volunteer
efforts of local garden clubs and designers, the Village is completely adorned
in all-natural decorations of the season. The authentic setting of the Village
truly makes this a magical event, which has been drawing in crowds for over 20
years.
During the Yuletide weekend, Dec. 7 & 8, visitors can tour the
Village and experience the
old-fashioned holiday fun of storytelling, ice sculpting, musical performances
and early American craft demonstrations. The event is also a great way to get
inspiration for your own holiday decorations. I know I’ll be taking notes!
Before you leave,
stop by the Storrowton Village Gift Shop and Christmas Shop in Potter Mansion.
You never know what unique holiday treasures you might find! There will also be
hot beverages and delicious homemade treats available in the Holiday Sweet
Shoppe.
The
best part is – these weekend-long festivities are free!
If
you can't make it on the weekend,
Yuletide Open House Tours will be going on all week!
