Ringing in the Holidays:
A Carillon Christmas Preview Party
Established in 1995 and held the weekend before Thanksgiving, Ringing in the Holidays is now the official preview party for A Carillon Christmas, the Park’s month-long holiday celebration.
Guests enjoy an evening filled with exclusive, one-night-only experiences, including live carolers, bell wagon concerts by carillonneur Alan Bowman, and so much more. The fundraiser will also feature a silent auction and an array of festive foods and specialty cocktails served throughout the museum’s exhibits, including a martini ice luge.
Because much of the evening takes place outdoors, guests are encouraged to dress for the weather.
All proceeds benefit Dayton History, a privately funded nonprofit organization, in its mission to inspire generations by connecting them with the unique people, places, and events that changed Dayton and the world.
