‘Old Time Winter’ at Vermilionville

The community is invited to experience the simple warmth and beauty of Christmas past as Vermilionville’s historic village brings to life the holiday traditions of yesteryear.
Vermilionville’s Old Time Winter is set for Tuesday, Dec. 14 through Thursday, Dec. 23.
Visitors young and old are invited to sing Christmas carols, listen to storytelling, decorate cookies, make pomanders, view the decorations in the village and much more.
Vermilionville’s artisans will be on hand to demonstrate winter traditions of the Acadian, Creole and Native American cultures such as open hearth cooking demonstrations, candles, soap, natural decorations and citrus pomanders. Children will enjoy writing letters to Papa Noël, and can even meet the French Santa Claus himself, who was actually a trapper that would deliver presents such as candy, money and small toys.
