Christmas Festival and Village

Our signature event for the parish and the wider community. Around 23,000 visitors joined us last year to step into the Christmas season. This year the Village is open over two weekends: Friday to Sunday, December 4, 5 and 6, and Friday to Sunday, December 11, 12 and 13.

Help build the Village

It takes many hands. Help all season or on just a few workdays.

Setup begins in October. Our team inspects the structures, repairs what needs fixing and gets ready for the season. The first setup day is Saturday, October 3 at 9am. If you have tools, please bring them. More workdays will follow for putting up lights, testing displays and decorating.

We especially welcome volunteers with experience in home improvement, painting, carpentry and construction, electrical work and lighting, or creative design and decorating.

During November the team is setting up lights and decorations. To get on the contact list for work dates and times, reach out to Chris Laquerre below.
