2025 Holiday Faire: Introducing the Evergreen Gala!

We’re pleased to announce the Evergreen Gala, a ticketed adults-only soirée on Friday, December 5th from 6:30-10:00pm. Upon arrival, pick up your Gala Passport and explore all corners of the celebration- shop the artisan market and silent auction, sip on festive drinks from the cafe and bar, savor delicious hors d’oeuvres, enjoy the tree lighting ceremony, join the holiday sing-a-long, and test your knowledge with a round of trivia. 

The event features a live performance from La Crosse band Under Under Paris Skies who play an acoustic blend of vintage jazz, swing and Latin-influenced music. Join us on the dance floor and learn classic dances like the Charleston, Foxtrot and Waltz, or spice it up with rhythms like the Kumbia and Cha-Cha- all with the guidance from our friendly on-site dance instructors. 

Tickets are $60, with limited tiered pricing available. PURCHASE TICKETS HERE

The beloved Saturday tradition continues on December 6th from 10:00am-3:00pm with free entry and food and children’s activities available for purchase. Enjoy live music, a hearty lunch, and treats from the bakery and cafe. Shop the artisan market, school store and silent auction, and delight in the warmth and spirit of the festive scene. Children’s activities include craft making, children’s castle, crystal boat, and puppet play.

2025 marks our 45th year! As we have grown from a one-room schoolhouse with three students, to a thriving fully accredited Waldorf school with an average of 150 students, we remain true to our founders’ vision of providing a balanced educational experience that instills in children a love of learning, a respect for nature, a strong sense of community, and an abiding appreciation for the value of service. The Holiday Faire is both integral to our annual fundraising and our commitment to be a vital and active part of the Driftless region through cultural and spiritual opportunities we bring to the greater community. We warmly invite all who choose to join us by offering offering a tiered ticket price for the Friday night gala. Our Saturday event remains focused on children and youth with free admission.
