The holidays are about gatherings of friends and family—and we hope you take some time to enjoy special moments and warm memories at Allerton! Shop, dine, relax, rejuvenate—celebrate the season however you choose!
Our visitor-favorite annual holiday events include the Holiday Showcase, held in early December, featuring specially-selected artisans and businesses selling their unique products, a lunch buffet, carriage rides, and festive performances.
Apply here to be considered as a Holiday Showcase vendor.
Holiday GLOW begins in December and runs through the new year, giving guests the chance to experience Allerton’s statuary and gardens through an enchanting stroll of lights and lighted artwork. If you are a light artist interested in having your work on display during Holiday GLOW, please apply here.
Finally, both little ones and adults enjoy finding the magic of Christmas with an afternoon of Sweets with Santa in the historic Allerton Mansion.
Details and upcoming dates will be available here. Watch a video recap of past events here.
