Dark Christmas provides a novel approach to holiday festivities by echoing the ages old traditions of mid-European folklore and celebration of winter. It consists of a holiday market that showcases unique and offbeat vendors in downtown Vista and features a Krampus Run. The Backfence Society, Twisted Heart Puppetworks and the Vista Art Foundation collaborate to create this market inspired by the European Kristkindl Markets of old Europe, offering a decidedly different twist on the typical Christmas events. Expect to see Dark Christmas art, Krampus inspired puppetry, Tarot and Rune readers, delicious food and spiced cider and a good old fashioned Bavarian Krampus and Winter Spirits procession to end the evening.

Littles learn best by doing and playing. We practice handwork and workplay. We “play” with natural objects and materials, keeping a consistent rhythm to our time together so that your child gains confidence each time they come. Our projects are planned so that mini makers will build skills while satisfying their need to explore. Projects are safe, non-toxic, earth-friendly, and full of creativity. It’s important that your child bring water in a refillable bottle and a snack (no candy or peanut products please) in case they are hungry or thirsty during our time together. In addition, if your child is enrolled in a nearby camp elsewhere in Liberty Station in the afternoon, and their camp begins as ours ends, we are happy to walk your child to their next camp. These camps are for children ages 4-6 years old! • Military, first responders and sibling discounts: Email us for more information. • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified.
