The Festival does not have general open hours during the week, but this gives us the chance to invite in some special groups -- folks from residential facilities, kindergarten & primary school classes, and day cares.

Here are just some of the beautiful trees and decorations that they are able to see -- and you can, too, during the regular viewing hours & events!
