Yuletide 2026: Saturday, December 19, 5p ticket – Victorian Ghostly Characters Weekend

Yuletide 2026 is back at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens with a full lineup of holiday activities for families. This year features the beloved model train village and twinkling light displays, plus kids' craft stations, free hot chocolate, and visits with Santa. There's also a Community Partner trees display to explore. For those looking to add a little extra magic, Martha Lee's Café will be selling s'mores kits and other treats throughout the event. This particular evening celebrates Victorian Ghostly Characters, so families are invited to come in themed costume if they'd like. Tickets are required and vary by age—adults pay $15 (or $12 for members), seniors and children 6–17 are $10 (or $8 for members), younger children have lower rates, and children under 2 are free. Keep in mind that all ticket sales are final, though you can share your ticket with someone else if plans change. The event runs rain or shine.
