The word is that the Steubenville Nutcrackers, who by the way have increased in number since last seen in Fort Steuben Park, have escaped their summer place of captivity and are on their way back to the Village at the Park!
The exciting ‘kick-off’ of the 2017 season of Steubenville Nutcracker Village and Advent Market is just around the corner.
In less than 2 weeks on Tuesday, November 21st, all the excitement will begin with Steubenville Lights Up the Night. It will mark the Grand Opening of the Advent Market & Steubenville Nutcracker Village and in addition will include free treats for kids courtesy of the Steubenville Beautification Committee, blessing of the Tree, the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus, a Christmas Program by Brenda Casey Dance Studio at the Berkman Amphitheater, living Christmas Scenes and caroling on 4th Street, and the official lighting of the tree. (See below for a full schedule).
Beginning the weekend after Thanksgiving the Advent Market will be open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through December 31st. There will be live entertainment, hay rides and trolley tours available. Christmas Wonderland and Gift Shop in the Visitor Center is open every day. The Sights & Sounds of Christmas: Nutcracker Magic 2017 parade will be held on Saturday, December 9th at noon. Wooden Heart Follies (an original Nutcracker musical comedy) will be performed on November 26th, December 3rd, 10th, and 17th. And, of course, the Nutcracker Village itself is open 24/7 from November 21st until January 7th , 2018. (Please see schedule below).
In the meantime, if you think you see a Nutcracker walking along or driving by you may not be hallucinating you may have spotted one of the Village residents making his/her way back to the Village for the upcoming ‘Magical’ Event beginning on November 21st!
One trip will not be enough time to do and see it all, so make your plans and save your dates now so as not to miss a single thing!
