2nd Annual 'Holly Days' Returning To Westport Museum

Westport History: This December the Westport Museum is bringing back Holly Days for the second year, continuing its tradition offering a month filled with delightful holiday programming for all ages. The Bradley-Wheeler House, WM headquarters, will be decked out in Victorian finery to celebrate the winter festivities (all of them!) from Christmas and Hanukkah, to the Solstice (yule) celebrations to Kwanzaa.

A variety of DIY crafts and cooking classes round out this years’ events which features visits from Santa Claus, horse-drawn carriage rides, live readings of A Christmas Carol and more. The Museum will also once again host the FIRST LIGHT FESTIVAL on New Year’s Eve, a family-oriented celebration with live music, movies, crafts, games and much more for everyone to enjoy.
