Seasonal Traditions Holiday Program

Presented by Division of History and Historic Preservation and Arts Institute of Middlesex County at East Jersey Old Town Village, Piscataway NJ

Kick off the holiday season with Seasonal Traditions, an annual holiday celebration at East Jersey Old Town Village!

Enjoy Victorian holiday music, listen to Christmas Short Stories, and a reading of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol featuring Dickens's edited version of the timeless tale he performed to sold-out audiences in Europe and America. Furthermore, immerse yourself in the holiday spirit with a radio play adaptation of the beloved classic, It's a Wonderful Life. Don't miss this unforgettable family-friendly holiday experience with festive music, carols, storytelling, wagon rides, children's crafts, and refreshments.

For your convenience, RIDE, the County's shuttle service, will provide FREE, accessible, on-demand transportation between East Jersey Old Town Village and The Cornelius Low House, where you can visit its newest exhibit, "Caught in the Crossfire: Divided Loyalties in Middlesex County," Park in one spot and experience multiple historic sites.
