Free Program: St. Nicholas Day

Celebrate St. Nicholas’ feast day at
this free event with live music from Craig Calistro, children’s activities,
refreshments, and more! Plus, explore the Christmas Tree Festival trimmings
from Connecticut Catholic schools on 20 trees and vote for your favorite on the opening
day of the People’s Choice Award voting.

This free program complements our exhibition “The Spirit of Christmas.” Discover through nativity scenes and other artwork the feasts and traditions that today
are a part of the preparations and celebrations of the birth of Christ around
the world in this exhibit. A supplemental exhibition, “Away in a Manger,” explores the diversity of stables and settings that house Christ’s birth. Both exhibitions, as well as our gift shop, will be open during the event with free admission and parking.
