This fantastic event will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the beautiful Kehoe Iron Works, located at 660 E. Broughton St.. Not only will you soak up the festive spirit, but you’ll also help a great cause as this year’s festival will once again benefit CURE Childhood Cancer.

A Winter Wonderland Awaits

Picture this: a winter wonderland right here in the South! With 60 tons of fluffy white snow, kids can enjoy thrilling sledding experiences. There’s snow this year and all that other holiday charm you love. Expect everything from Christmas train rides, bounce houses, and face painting to rock climbing and a lot more. This is one festival where you can guarantee your kids will have a blast!

For the adults, grab a warm cup of delicious hot cocoa or sample seasonal delights from local food trucks. You can browse unique arts and crafts at the festival while marveling at the 23-ft Christmas tree standing tall in the holiday spirit. Oh, and don’t forget to visit Santa Claus, who will be in attendance and ready to learn what Savannah’s kiddos are hoping to find under their trees this year.

Why This Event Is So Important

It’s not just all about fun and festivities; this Christmas Festival is also a way to lend support to children battling cancer. According to Mandy Garola, Vice President of CURE Childhood Cancer in South Georgia, “The Trustees’ Garden Christmas Festival brings people together to show love and create joy, so we are honored to be the event beneficiary for the second time. We are so grateful.” She continued, “The funds raised will go toward critical research that brings us one day closer to conquering childhood cancer.”

In the United States alone, over 17,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year, with rates on the rise. It’s a staggering reality that makes the mission of CURE even more crucial. For the last 25 years, only a mere six cancer drugs have been specifically developed and approved for children, despite cancer being the leading cause of disease-related deaths in children. With events like this festival, CURE hopes to change that narrative by raising funds for vital research and providing emotional support for affected families.

Fun for All!

The best part about the festival? It’s a family affair! Kids five and under can join in on the excitement for free. So, make sure to gather the family, invite your friends, and bring your holiday spirit for a day filled with joy, laughter, and celebration. Whether you’re there to cheer your little ones on or to simply soak up the festive atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.

Plan Ahead

This year’s festival will happen, rain or shine, so make sure you’re dressed for the weather and ready for a day full of joy. You can grab your tickets in advance on the Christmas Festival at Trustees’ Garden Eventbrite page. Don’t miss out on the chance to support a wonderful cause while making lasting memories with your loved ones!

We can’t wait to see you there! It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday season while bringing just a little more joy into the lives of children and families who need it most.
