St. Marys Arts & Sounds is grateful to celebrate Pilgrim's Keep and this well-deserved recognition.

Sep and his team have been consistent supporters of the arts and of SMAS from the very beginning—always generous, community-minded, and willing to show up for St. Marys. Their support has helped make so many creative and cultural efforts possible, including opening their doors as the home of our unforgettable Ghost of Christmas Present during Living Literature at Bells of St. Marys.

We are thankful for their partnership and proud to have Pilgrim’s Keep as part of the fabric of our town. Congratulations on this honor—you’ve earned it.

Our Living Literature presentation of A Christmas Carol will bring Dickens’s classic to life throughout downtown St. Marys. Visitors can meet the characters, experience scenes from the story, and take home a beautiful heirloom replica of the original 1843 first edition—complete with period illustrations and authentic detailing (limited availability).

We are also sponsoring this year’s Christmas Parade Float Contest. Large ribbons will be awarded to the top three floats, and winners will display their ribbons during the parade.

📚✨ Rainy Day Reads & Christmas Cheer!

It’s a dreary, cold, and rainy day here in St. Marys, Kansas — the perfect kind of day to curl up under a cozy blanket with a good book and your favorite warm drink. And with Christmas just around the corner, there’s no better choice than Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”

As part of our Living Literature Series, St. Marys Arts & Sounds will bring this beloved classic to life at the Bells of St. Marys Festival on Saturday, December 6th, 2025! 🎄 Imagine strolling through our Hallmark-movie-worthy downtown and meeting the characters themselves — chat with Mr. Fezziwig, share a toast with the Ghost of Christmas Present at Pilgrim’s Keep, and maybe even bump into Ebenezer Scrooge!

📖 We’ll also be giving away a limited number of heirloom replica editions of “A Christmas Carol,” made to Dickens’ own specifications — complete with original illustrations.

🎭 Interested in joining the fun? We still have a few roles available! Cast members will work from 4–9 p.m. on Saturday, December 6th, 2025 and receive a $50 stipend. Costumes need to be ordered soon, so don’t delay — email [email protected] for more info!

Thanks for the shout out Pilgrim's Keep and for feeding our hungry band on Saturday!!!
