NEW to the Roycroft Winter Festival in 2024: Something for the small ones...The Man of the Hour: SANTA. Festival attendees with children can kick off the holiday season a visit with Santa Claus from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. either day!
Santa provided by Jim Howe: "Santa Jim" started his career of bringing holiday cheer in 1994 when he was asked by his school if he would be the jolly St Nick for a senior class event. With a borrowed suit from the VFW, Santa was an instant hit.
Through the years, Santa Jim has seen thousands of children at schools and daycares throughout Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania. He is part of a Christmas Magic show that tours schools, daycares, hospitals, and senior living residences with a local magician. Santa Jim has also made appearances at private parties, tree-lighting events, and Children’s Story Hour, to name a few. He even attended the Charles W. Howard Santa School in Midland, Michigan.
We are thrilled to be able to offer this to families as part of the expansion of the Roycroft Winter Festival! This year’s Roycroft Winter Festival features the work of Roycroft Masters and Artisans, two Roycroft Emerging Artist cohorts and a schedule of live and interactive art demonstrations by Roycroft Artisans and Masters throughout the weekend. RALA and The Park School of Buffalo are also joined by the Buffalo Society of Artists, the Hunt Gallery and other non-profit arts partners working alongside RALA in the WNY Arts community. With over 40 exhibitors, partners and artists demonstrating fine art and high craft, The Roycroft Winter Festival remains the gold standard for the opening weekend of holiday season for Arts & Crafts enthusiasts. 44 years strong, this year's festival is a return to the Festival that collectors and enthusiasts will recall from years past.
There is a nominal general admission of $5 for the Roycroft Winter Festival. This admission defrays costs and funds the Roycrofters at Large, a 501(c) non-profit arts organization, making our programming and educational initiatives possible!
Children 12 and under are always free to attend the Roycroft Winter and Summer Festivals. Those planning to attend can find reduced pre-sale for parties of 2 or more and a full list of exhibitors on our website at ralaweb.com.
Santa Jim and his winter wonderland is made possible through collaboration with the The Park School of Buffalo Student Photography Club.
