The Christ Child Festival's "Christmas in Parkview Field"

Join Us for this Two-Day Christ Child Festival: Wednesday evening and/or Friday

Celebrate the start of the Christmas season in downtown Fort Wayne by attending the Christ Child Festival. For the first time, it's at Parkview Field! Find us in the beautiful Lincoln Financial Event Center.

Since its beginning more than 70 years ago, the Christ Child Festival has focused on celebrating the birth and life of Christ.

Volunteers from area Christian churches and denominations welcome visitors, connect with them, serve, entertain, and share Christ's love.

This is an experience where families and visitors of all ages will enjoy entertainment, inspiring displays, gifts, and activities, and the children will delight in the crafts they make and take home.

The theme is "Follow the Crimson Thread…" which highlights the love and light of Christ.

This 2-day event occurs Wednesday evening and Friday.

Wednesday Night: The Christ Child Festival will take place adjacent to and at the same time as Parkview Field Holiday Lights—6:00 PM to 10:00 P.M.

PLEASE NOTE: Usually, the Christ Child Festival is free, and technically it is on Wednesday night; however, to enter the event area and head to the Lincoln Financial Event Center, you will need to purchase tickets to Parkview Field Holiday Lights Tickets to Holiday Lights ($10 a person). For those of you who already have plans to experience Parkview Field Holiday Lights sometime in November or December, this is the night for you to do it!

For your information:

Friday, October 29: Admission is free to Parkview Field to experience the second day of the Christ Child Festival. (Parkview Field Holiday Lights does not operate during the day.) The Christ Child Festival hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Enter through Parkview Field's main entrance on both days.

We look forward to seeing you, celebrating with you, and ushering in the CHRISTmas season!
