Explore JCPRD

JCPRD has put together a month-long assortment of holiday program offerings for everyone in your family from toddlers to 50 Plus.

Whether you’d like to arrange for a letter from Santa, provide gifts for the animals at Ernie Miller Nature Center, experience what the holidays were like 100 years ago in a rural one-room schoolhouse, hear holiday-related stories, or play bingo in your pajamas, we’ve got plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy and share some good cheer. 

Note that all Theatre in the Park performances of “Frozen Jr.” indoors at the Black Box Theater at the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center, two holiday-themed 50 Plus day trips, and all three sessions of this year’s Winter Solstice Celebration at the Ernie Miller Nature Center have already filled.

Keep in mind most of the programs listed here require advance registration.
