This Year’s Theme: United by Light
Holiday celebrations across the globe share one common thread at the end of the year: light! Be it a joyful tree sparkling with cheer, a sacred candle holder telling a story with each burning votive, a glowing lantern signifying triumph, a welcoming home decked out in strings of dancing bulbs, or the embers of a flickering fire, it is the light that ushers the way for new beginnings, familial togetherness, hope, peace, and love.
Bring your family, your traditions, and your sparkle. Come feel the warmth of community at Fairy Winterland!
