Come join the Chippewa Valley Museum in a celebration of Eau Claire’s sesquicentennial year! Expect live music and family-friendly entertainment with events that cover the three essential c’s of the holidays: caroling, crafts, and cookies. From 1 to 4pm on three successive Saturdays – Nov. 26, Dec. 3, and Dec. 10 – come see everything from sugar cookie decorating to roving carolers, all in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Eau Claire’s creation as a city.

Musicians like violinist Olaf Lind, entertainer Doug Wozniak, and founder of the Music Therapist Company Sheila Wall will help start the Chippewa Valley Museum’s holiday series off strong and spirited. Volunteers from the National Honor Society and Key Club, Circle K, and Eau Claire’s K-Kids Club will help guide the experience and make the events full of delightful fun for the whole family.
