JCPRD has put together an assortment of holiday program offerings for everyone in the family from toddlers to 50 Plus.

Whether you’d like to attend a workshop where you can visit virtually with Santa “live from the North Pole,” make a Snowman Wine Glass Candleholder, hear strategies for dealing with grief and depression during the holidays, learn about the tradition of card giving and a local company’s role in it, watch virtual performances of the Theatre in the Park’s Innovative Theatre Challenge contest winner “And to all… a SWIPE RIGHT,” hear holiday-related stories, provide gifts for the animals at Ernie Miller Nature Center, and more, we’ve got plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy and share some good cheer. 

Note that a number of other holiday-themed programs which were announced earlier, including some long-time favorites, are not on this list because they have either already filled or have been cancelled for this year. Keep in mind most of the programs below require advance registration.
