Christmas in the Village

Join us for a tree-lighting at 5:15 PM next to the Dieterle Corncrib. Then spend an evening strolling the Historic Webster Village by lantern light, accompanied by the music of the Arbor Consort*, who will be dressed in period costumes and singing carols. Experience our historic buildings, each with a different Christmas tree, greenery and candles inside to bring alive the spirit of Christmas past. Children will enjoy the reading of The Night Before Christmas in Podunk School. Stop in at the Old Town Hall for a visit with Santa. Drop by the Kleinschmidt General Store to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and cookies and search our gift shop for a special toy or gift to take home. Wander outside to enjoy the warming fire.  This evening of the sights and sounds of Christmas will enchant both young and old. Make this event at the Historic Webster Village a new family tradition.

*Under musical director Sarah Jane Rau, The Arbor Consort (TAC) is a non-profit vocal ensemble based in Ann Arbor, dedicated to the performance of a cappella Renaissance and Christmas music.  They have been the featured madrigal singing group at the Michigan Renaissance Festival since 1982.  During the holiday season, TAC performs as costumed carolers for private parties and public events throughout Southeast Michigan.
