Details
Saint Nicholas Day at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum
Saturday December 1st, 12pm-4pm
CRAFTS, FOOD, MUSIC, TREE LIGHTING & Visits from Sinterklaas and Santa Claus
Enjoy a special visit from St. Nicholas as he arrives at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum with his horse (toting traditional Dutch holiday treats), followed by a theatrical reading of the Dutch-American Christmas tale, The Baker's Dozen. Don't miss a chance to meet St. Nicholas's 19th century American counterpart, Santa Claus, first popularized in the 19th century by the writings of native New Yorker Washington Irving and the artwork of New York immigrant Thomas Nast.
Colonial balladeer Linda Russell will entertain audiences of all ages with her beautiful songs. Try your hand at traditional holiday crafts such as pomander balls and natural bird feeders. Looking for a homemade gift for your loved ones? Test your craft skills by making your own unique snow globe or tree ornament to take home. Warm up around the outdoor fire pit with hot apple cider, holiday food, and traditional Dutch cookies. Make a holiday wish and help us decorate our outdoor Christmas tree with ornaments, solar powered lights, and holiday cheer. The day's festivities will culminate with a festive tree lighting ceremony at dusk.
