Newtown Youth & Family Services will once again benefit from a family-friendly event sponsored by Newtown Savings Bank.

The 33rd Annual Holiday Festival is scheduled for Sunday, December 2, from 11 am until 4 pm, at Main Street locations.

Tickets are $15 per person or $30 for a family (two adults and two children), with each additional child $8 each.

Tickets will cover admission to the Festival of Trees, Holiday Tea, Historic House Tour, Nutcracker Suite ballet, Trolley Tours, and children’s activities.

Activities will be taking place at C.H. Booth Library (CHB), 25 Main Street; and Edmond Town Hall (ETH), 45 Main Street. The homes on the Historic House Tour are on and near Main Street.

The 2018 Festival of Trees will be at the library.

Every year, local businesses, organizations, and families donate decorated trees, wreaths, gift baskets, and holiday decorations to the Festival of Trees. The trees can be live or artificial and are theme decorated.

NYFS is still seeking donations for this Holiday Festival offering. Drop-off will be Saturday, December 1, between 9 am and 1 pm. Full details are available online at newtownyouthandfamilyservices.org.

Raffle tickets to win the item of one’s choice will be available during the festival from 11 am until 4 pm. Winners will be drawn at 4 pm, and winners do not need to be present to win.

Activities for children will also take place within the library. Crafts and Letters for Santa will be on the main floor.

Downstairs in the children’s library will be photos with the Peanuts Gang from 1 to 2 pm, a reading of A Charlie Brown Christmas at 2 pm, and cookie decorating from 2:15 pm until 4 pm. Children under 12 must be supervised by a parent or adult guardian.

Five private homes and Trinity Episcopal Church will be open for the Historic House Tour. A local designer/team will take care of creating festive settings within each location (details on the homes will be offered in next week’s final Holiday Festival preview).

Holiday Festival ticket-holders will have the option of walking to each of the locations or taking a shuttle, which is included in festival tickets. The shuttle — which is separate from the trolley tours — will depart from and return to Newtown General Store, 43 Main Street (to the immediate south of ETH).

Performances of Nutcracker Suite Ballet will be offered within ETH, at noon and 2 pm. Students of Newtown Centre of Classical Ballet & Voice will be the performers.

The Holiday Tea, in The Alexandria Room of ETH, will feature live holiday music filling the air. Mulled apple cider, tea, and hot cocoa, along with freshly baked scones and tea breads, will be served.

Tables will be decorated with fresh, floral teapot centerpieces that will be available for purchase.

All ages are welcome, and each Holiday Festival ticket will cover one snack and one drink.

A Kids Tea will also be offered at ETH. The 60-minute event will begin at 11. Guests will enjoy treats, a sing-along, visits with Rudolph and Mrs Claus, and photo opportunities with the Peanuts Gang.

Trolley Tours, which debuted in the 2013 Holiday Festival, will also be back this year. A tour guide will narrate each 30-minute tour, which will roll down Main Street.

Trolley Tours are first come, first served (seating is limited) and will depart from in front of ETH at 11:15, 12:15, 2, and 3.

Children are invited to take a ride on the Polar Express, a child-size train that will run between the town hall and library buildings.
