Holiday Showcase
Celebrate the season at Allerton! Come out to shop for gifts and relax with friends over drinks or lunch. The Showcase features specially-selected artisans and businesses selling their unique products, handcrafted wares, and baked goods.
Friday evening (5-9pm) will kick things off with our Holiday Showcase Opening Night. Take a stroll on the Kirby Winter Wellness Walk, grab dinner from the Greenhouse Café or local food trucks, enjoy music from the Angelus Bell Choir in the Brick Wall Garden (starting at 5pm, 6pm, and 7pm), and warm up in the Mansion with a cash bar as you browse the vendors or make a natural ornament with Monticello Area Arts Council. (Purchase Holiday Showcase Opening Night Tickets HERE.)
Saturday and Sunday (10am-4pm) will feature our visitor-favorite lunch buffet* at 11:00am, 1:00pm, or 3:00pm (advance purchase required). Sip on complimentary coffee and tea and don’t miss the chance to cuddle-up on a memorable carriage ride with Merrybeth Farm Carriage Service around the Estate! (No advance reservations; cash only. Adults: $10, Children 3-12: $5, 2 and under: free.)
Showcase ONLY: $10/person (Ages 12 & under FREE.)
