Evening Activities Include:

Christmas by Candlelight at Körner’s Folly – an exclusive evening event, it is sure to spark a feeling of enchantment as spectacular Victorian-inspired decorations shine and the house glows from within.

Moore’s poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Christmas by Candlelight is from 6 – 9 pm. Advance ticket purchases strongly recommended – this event usually sells out quickly.
