Our vision
Every child. Every senior. No one left out.
To create an inclusive Christmas experience where every child, including children with disabilities, and every senior can experience the joy, warmth and magic of Christmas, regardless of ability, age or circumstance.
Our goal is to bring the Anchorage community together through love, laughter, gifts, entertainment and shared experiences, so that no one feels left out during the holiday season.
Day one is for children, including children with disabilities, with their families. Day two is for seniors and adults from every background, veterans included.
Celebrate. Connect. Give. Create Memories.

What each day holds.
The running order will be published with the dates. Both days follow the same shape, with Santa's cabin on day one.

Arrival and the market
Lanterns, cocoa, and a small market of local makers. Come early, wander, warm up.

A real cabin, a real beard, a wood stove. Children are welcomed in small groups so nobody is rushed.

Performances
Choirs, musicians and community groups on the main stage, from across Alaska's cultures and neighborhoods.

The tree lighting
Everyone in one place, looking up. Our Tree sponsor's name is on this moment.

Carols and goodnight
A last song under the lights, and a date for next year.
