Food, Glorious Food! is our creative theme for Holly Days 2012! This fun, festive event opens on Friday November 23^rd, and runs through Sunday, December 30^th, 2012. During this period Tower Hill will be open on Mondays, from 9am-5pm in addition to our regular days. We will also be open until 8pm on Wednesday evenings when Twigs Café features Food & Fire.

Holly Days has become a sparkling tradition, providing light-hearted, humorous relief from the usual holiday noise and commercialism. Thousands of colorful lights provide the background for whimsical decorations! Some of the most clever volunteers, staff, and local designers craft unusual ornaments and displays from bits of nature, embellished with touches of glamor. This year chefs and bakers from across the region will join in to create delectable ornaments & decorations, all from natural materials, to fit the food theme! Imagine ornaments crafted to look like sugar plums, cupcakes, entrees, and implements—all formed from materials found in our fields, woods, and gardens. Look for tables set for dinner, cake stands topped with mouth-watering confections, bowls brimming with faux foods!

Bring a canned good and SAVE on Admission! Anyone who brings a canned good or boxed/packaged food for the pantry may deduct $1 per item from regular admission, with a limit of $6 off! Goods will be donated to Rachel’s Table for distribution to those in need in the greater Worcester area. Offer effective only during Holly Days, no other discounts apply.
