The Nutcracker Trail Kickoff Event

Friday, November 28, 2025 | 3:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Admission: $5 per person | $10 for a family

This December, get ready for a larger-than-life holiday spectacle! A brigade of towering, 6-foot-tall, hand-painted artisan Nutcrackers are marching into town to make this holiday season shimmer like never before. Each unique Nutcracker is brought to life by talented local artists and generously sponsored by businesses, nonprofits, schools, and families across our community.

Join us for the official Nutcracker Trail Kickoff Event on Friday, November 28th from 3 PM to 7:30 PM. These joyful wooden soldiers are on a festive mission to spread cheer, guard holiday spirit, and greet guests inside window displays all season long.

Tickets will be available for purchase the day of the event at the United Theatre.
