Old Westbury Gardens will once again host their Holiday Market on Saturday, Nov. 24 and Sunday, Nov. 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The expanded Holiday Market will be situated at the Barn at Orchard Hill and Orchard Hill House, providing the perfect backdrop to spur the holiday spirit.
With approximately 60 vendors featuring artisanal boutiques and exquisite gifts, there is no better or more unique way to get holiday shopping done.
“We look forward to this spectacular time of year at Old Westbury Gardens. I encourage visitors to bring your family and friends and stop by our special Holiday Market,” said Nancy Costopulos, president and CEO of Old Westbury Gardens. “After completing some holiday shopping, I urge you to stop by Westbury House, which is elegantly transformed to bring holiday magic to life this time of year.”
While the Holiday Market is one weekend only, Christmas at Westbury House will be featured every Friday through Sunday from Saturday, Nov. 24 through Sunday, Dec. 23.
Each weekend will feature special attractions, from musical performances to a Prohibition Party at Westbury House (registration and additional fee).
Period rooms at Westbury House will be decorated and have Santa as a special guest, along with cookies and cider for guests to enjoy.
Children are invited to drop by on Saturdays to create a keepsake craft or on Sundays to make a holiday card, both days from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“Our holiday events are a must for the entire family,” added Costopulos. “Our horticulture staff works tirelessly to elegantly decorate each historic room of the house with Christmas trees, wreaths, mantelpiece arrangements, topiaries and plants. Antique train sets from the pre-war era, including the 1930s to early 1940s, will be displayed provided by Nassau Lionel Operating Engineers from Levittown members, taking us back in time.”
General admission to the Holiday Market is $12; senior admission is $10; children’s admission for ages 7 to 17 is $7; and children six and under and Old Westbury Gardens members are free.
