Holiday [Showcase + GLOW] Opening Night

Kick off the holiday season with a magical evening at Allerton’s Holiday [Showcase + GLOW] Opening Night from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1. Take an enchanting stroll through our annual outdoor light show, enjoy festive music and partake in food and beverages from local food trucks and a cash bar.

Then, head to the Mansion to listen to the Monticello High School Madrigal singers and do some holiday shopping from local vendors at the Holiday Showcase. Swing by the Carriage House for the Monticello Area Art Council’s Natural Ornament-Making Workshop, where you can make an ornament for our courtyard tree and one to take home!

The Quest Church Handbell Choir will also perform between 6 and 8:30 p.m. in the Brick Wall Garden.
