Family Friendly Holiday Fun: Junior League of Worcester's Winter Festival

It's Winter Festival Time!

The Junior League of Worcester Winter Festival is coming. They are holding two events this year at the EcoTarium. On December 4, an evening Gala for the 'grown ups' and on December 5, a family fun festival.

Have Fun - Do Some Good

In addition to being a lot of fun, these events help the Junior League of Worcester support Worcester through their programs. Two examples of programs that will benefit are the Coats for Kids and Project Fresh Start. The Coats for Kids program provides warm outerwear to children from low-income families in the Worcester Public Schools. Project Fresh Start focuses on helping families that are transitioning from Friendly House (an emergency family shelter) and The Frances Perkins House (a transitional home for women and children).

On December 4: The Winter Festival Gala

6-10pm / Tickets are $50.00 (available online)
Preview the decorated trees, enjoy a buffet and participate in raffles and auctions - all for a great cause. A cash bar will also be available. Attire is black-tie or holiday festive.

Note: Attendees may opt to purchase $85 tickets in honor of the Junior League of Worcester's 85th Anniversary. The additional $35 will go to the T&G Santa.
