Glimmer Nights Returns to Fenimore Farm & Country Village for Expanded 2025 Season – Six Weeks of Lights, Magic, and Holiday Cheer
Opening weekend is November 22-23
Visitors can enjoy tractor rides through the property. Additionally, the new Holiday Tree Decorating Contest will be unveiled, featuring trees intricately decorated by local organizations. Visitors can vote for their favorite throughout the 6-weeks, and vote once per visit.
November 28 – 29, enjoy the museum’s new Holiday Market. Inspired by European holiday markets, the museum will host a variety of local crafts vendors and artisans who will have many wares available for your holiday shopping needs. Items made by the museum’s craftspeople will also be for sale. The market will open early at 3pm to allow for extended shopping, with entrance to Glimmer Nights beginning at 4:30 pm.
The popular Dickens Nights return December 6- 7 and will feature performances of famous vignettes from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol on the Bump Tavern balcony and readings from the book in the Cornwallville Church. Performers in period dress will be roaming the museum’s historic village to interact with visitors.
December 11-14 we are pleased to bring back the popular Wassail Nights, to warm visitors with complementary wassail, a traditional spiced cider, in the Bump Tavern and Crossroads Cafe. The weekend is sponsored by Fly Creek Cider Mill and Orchard, which will be providing locally made cider for the event. Holiday music will be performed by local groups during the week.
The museum is welcoming winter weather with Solstice Nights, December 20-21. Try your hand at traditional crafts like wreath making in the Louis C. Jones Center in the museum’s Main Barn. They will also offer some special adult fun with an open-air bar serving seasonal cocktails by a fire pit on Saturday, December 20th. A family-friendlier offering of drinks and snacks will be available the next night, Sunday, December 21st.
Glimmer Nights wraps up with a Winter Wonderland-themed closing weekend, December 27-28. Celebrate the beauty of winter with snowman building and a visit from the Ice Queens. It’s the last weekend to vote in the Holiday Tree Decorating contest and tractor rides will also return for the final weekend.
