Mandarin Museum will host its annual Winter Celebration on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 11a.m. – 4 p.m. throughout the museum and Walter Jones Historical Park located at 11964 Mandarin Road. This free community event includes fun for the entire family.

As in years past, all historic buildings in Walter Jones Historical Park will be open to visitors, and guests will notice festive décor adorning the 1875 Farmhouse courtesy of the Mandarin Garden Club. The day also promises a visit and photo opportunity with Santa and Mrs. Claus, crafts and goodies for children, “reindeer” rides, historical re-enactors, local nonprofits, live music, “Ask a Master Gardener,” Meet the Maple Leaf Divers, and more.

The perfect Christmas gift — Mandarin Frogs — will be available for purchase in the museum’s shop. Mandarin’s own Frogman will be on hand with paintable concrete miniatures. 

The day is part of a weekend of festivities beginning with Mandarin Community Club’s annual Christmas tree lighting on Friday, Dec 1. The historic Mandarin Store and Post Office, located at 12471 Mandarin Road, will be open for tours during the tree-lighting event from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.
