Shop, eat, drink – and be merry! — at the Holiday Showcase presented by Sterling Wealth Management from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5.
Stroll through the decorated Mansion as you shop for unique gifts from specially selected artisans and businesses. Be sure to stop by the Carriage House for natural-ornament making with the Monticello Area Art Council, where you can make an ornament for our courtyard tree and one to take home!
Don’t miss an enchanting stroll through the illuminated gardens and woodlands of Holiday GLOW, with added entertainment from the Monticello High School Madrigal singers in the Mansion Courtyard from 5:30 to 8 p.m. (breaks every 30-40 minutes) and the Quest Church Handbell Choir in the Brick Wall Garden (20-30 minute performances at 6, 7 & 8 p.m.). Take your time and warm up with a meal from a food truck, the Greenhouse Café or a drink from our indoor and outdoor bars!
