Nativity Festival

Step into St. Paul's Lutheran Church this holiday season to explore a remarkable collection of over 900 nativities from more than 50 countries around the world. You'll wander through beautifully decorated Christmas trees and discover how different cultures celebrate the holiday season. The festival features several special experiences: a vintage Christmas room showcasing traditions from Colonial times through the 20th century, a nostalgic display of model trains and vintage toys, and live holiday music performances. Friday evenings offer "Carols and Cocktails" with live music, while Sunday afternoons feature candlelight concerts in the sanctuary. The festival welcomes visitors of all ages and abilities. Kids will enjoy craft activities, a scavenger hunt, and interactive "please touch" areas designed to be both fun and educational. Quiet Christmas sessions are offered Saturday mornings for families seeking a calmer experience. Guided group tours are available by advance arrangement, and the entire venue is accessible for those with mobility needs. Admission is free (donations support the church's meal program), and free parking is available nearby. Contact the church for group tour details or special requests.
