Visit the Village and Get in the Spirit

Need a festive event to get out of the house? The Holiday Village at the Ford Center is a fun and festive way to get in the Christmas spirit. It offers a magical atmosphere with Gingerbread houses designed by local families, community groups, and businesses. The miniature village with a working train, a holiday-themed Lego house, a mailbox for Santa, a decorated tree surrounded by gifts by the fireplace hung with stockings, and a multi-cultural display of holiday traditions from around the world, all enveloped by cheerful and inspirational music.

This event is free and open to the public from December 1 – December 15, 2022. This event also raises funds and collects goods for the Pantry!

But wait! There’s more. There are also Special Events taking place. Story Time with Mrs. Claus is December 3 at 10:00 AM. Santa will be in town on December 10, 1:00 – 4:00 PM.
