Holiday Festival 2023
Hearthside for the Holidays
By Kerry Lee Doehr

This year’s Holiday Festival “Hearthside For The Holidays” on Saturday, December 9th from 12noon-5pm at The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center Koch Courtyard is themed around the essence of relaxation, enjoying time together, and infusing a little joy and magic into the art of gathering during the holidays.  And in case you hadn’t heard, the elves have been hard at work ensuring snow flurries happen every 30 minutes throughout the day starting at 12noon!
