Christmas Traditions® 50th Anniversary – The Exhibition celebrates five decades of the beloved St. Charles festival through a contemporary art lens.

Be sure to enjoy the photo opportunities throughout the galleries - sit on Santa’s throne, take a photo with this year’s commemorate character card design, imagine you’re the general of a golden nutcracker army, and dream the enormous pile of presents are for you or a loved one!
