Let's celebrate the winter holidays together. Join us at the International Holiday Market where there will be something for everyone; sharing time with friends, yummy food, photos with Santa, roasting smores, market items and baked goods, hot chocolate, cheer and more. For the next four weeks, our children will be learning about the many different ways our community celebrates the holidays. They’ll be crafting “hope bracelets,” used to decorate the Giving Tree and a bracelet for themselves to trade with their friends at the event.
