Ringing in the Holidays: A Carillon Christmas Preview Party
Saturday, November 22, 2025 | 5:30 PM
Price: $85.00 - Non Members $75.00 - Members
Carillon Historical Park celebrates its 75th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of Ringing in the Holidays — the privately funded nonprofit’s seasonal fundraiser — by unveiling a fresh, expanded version of the long-loved event. This year, it debuts as the official preview party for A Carillon Christmas, the Park’s month-long holiday celebration. Guests will enjoy an evening filled with exclusive, one-night-only experiences, including live carolers, bell wagon concerts by carillonneur Alan Bowman, and a special lighting-of-the-Park ceremony. 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.
