Step into Christmas past… as Cedarburg Art Museum comes alive on Friday evenings throughout the holiday season.

Not a creature will stir as the Museum quietly awaits the arrival of St. Nicholas; an ornate Victorian tree and stockings hang by the chimney with care; the fireplace-lit bedroom depicts a long winter’s nap interrupted as our narrator springs from the bed to see what “was the matter”. A glance to the nearest window depicts the new fallen snow; and down the chimney St. Nicholas comes with a bound to the parlor, where an array of gifts overflow a full-sized 1898 Victorian Christmas tree adorned with ornaments and candles; in the dining room, a festive bounty feast covers the table in preparation for a Happy Christmas to all; and outside, in the Museum’s garden filled with twinkling lights and live reindeer adorned with jingle bells await the arrival of St. Nicholas.

The public is encouraged to visit the Cedarburg Art Museum from November 22 through December 20 to experience the holiday magic on Festive Friday evenings. Timed tickets for entry will be available from 5:15 to 8:15 p.m. Tickets are required for the self guided tour and access to the Museum garden which will feature hot beverages to keep visitors warm, family photo opportunities, and Santa’s reindeer.

Tickets are $10.00 per person, required, and will be available online starting Friday, November 1 at 9 AM. Pre-registration is highly encouraged due to the Museum’s capacity.

Adult and student volunteers (ages 16 and up) are needed for Christmas at CAM! Please consider donating your time to a welcoming non-profit community.
