'Twas the Night Before Christmas at the Cedarburg Art Museum

Step into Christmas past… as the 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 live reindeer adorned with jingle bells await the arrival of St. Nicholas.

Tickets are $10 per person and required. Pre-registraton on Festive Friday Eves is highly encouraged due to the museum's capacity.
