WORCESTER – Variety– the Children’s Charity of the Delaware Valley (Variety) will once again be spreading joy this holiday season through Variety’s Holiday Lane. From December 5th – December 7th, Variety will transform its 77-acre campus into an interactive, family-friendly, winter wonderland.
This exciting multi-night event includes fun for the whole family with themed decorated cabins, a holiday craft bazaar, live entertainment, strolling characters, complimentary hot cocoa, various children’s activities, hot food, and festive outdoor decorations.
On Thursday, December 5th, raffle tickets will be on sale for those joining us for our driving-only tour.
On Friday, December 6th and Saturday, December 7th, visitors can walk along a festive Holiday Lane in which the exterior of Variety’s rustic cabins will be lit up with holiday lights and decorated in holiday themes by local community groups, who will compete for the votes of the public who attend the event.
Admission tickets include walking the lane, a complimentary cup of hot chocolate, live entertainment, and a visit with Santa. Additional activities include hot food and drink, kids’ games, amazing raffle baskets, and a holiday bazaar of handmade items by Variety kids.
On Saturday, there will be special activities for children from 3pm – 5pm including a carol sing along, holiday dance party, story time stations, letters to Santa, and more!
The event is a wonderful, family-friendly opportunity to visit Variety’s campus and enjoy the sights and sounds of the season while supporting a local organization that strives to continuously provide social and educational programs for the disabilities community in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties.
