Early pioneer Christmas traditions will be celebrated on Saturday, December 17th. Everyone is invited to attend the 43rd annual Pioneer Christmas Party from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. hosted by Ide Adobe Interpretive Association and California State Parks. We invite the community to join us for a day of festivities, music, and making ornaments. Volunteers dressed in 1850s period clothing will be on hand to greet visitors and share early pioneer Christmas traditions. Local musicians will provide entertainment. Visitors can make handmade gifts including tin punch, pomanders, candles, wool angels, and rag dolls. Warm wassail and treats will be served. Children will clamor to break a traditional Christmas bag! Pioneer Christmas Party is fun for the whole family. Admission for adults is $5, children 3 years and older is $2, and children under 3 are free. Families (up to 5 guests) are $10. William B.
