Merry and Bright

Historic Poplar Grove rings in the 2024 holiday season with 4 weeks of “Merry and Bright,” a dazzling festival of lights and holiday magic. This year we keep things fresh and exciting by switching up our lighting so that the ancient Oaks take center stage with cascading and shimmering rivers of warm, white light. The decorating divas of Poplar Grove are adding even MORE holiday scenes, vignettes and decorated trees for the ultimate photo ops. Fire-pits and marshmallow roasting areas will be out, different food trucks each night, snow machines and the indoor barns will have a select number of culinary delights, adult specialty libations, wine and beer and arts and craft vendors. This year the outdoor tent will be back for covered dining and live music on select nights. A real, professional Santa will be here on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 5:30pm-8:30pm and Mr. Twister (the ingenious balloon man) will be here on his new stage all nights from 5pm-9pm (10pm on Friday and Saturday nights). Of course the historic 1850’s Manor House will be decked out in its Victorian finest for you to take in the cozy sights and sounds of the Holiday Season.

Santa, Mr. Twister, marshmallow roasting, letters to Santa, letters to the troops at the vintage USO, a walk-through of the Victorian manor and all the photo ops you can handle are FREE with paid admission of $10 per person (adult and child). Kid’s tickets are half off on Sundays when Santa isn’t in town. Tickets are available at www.poplargrove.org or at the gate the night of although capacity restrictions may apply. You can come anytime you like during the evening of the date selected and stay as long as you like!

Show runs from Friday, November 29th to Sunday, December 22nd from 5pm-9pm Thursday and Sundays and 5pm-10pm on Friday and Saturdays. Poplar Grove is a non-profit organization and funds raised help us continue our mission of “Education, Conservation and Preservation.”
