Presentations
In addition to visual artwork and music, we will have other artistic presentations throughout the day. See below for more details on where to go to be entertained by and support your talented neighbors!
The Dunstable Theater Collaborative will be bringing a brand new show to this year's Jinglefest lineup. Get ready to be completely swept away and entertained as Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap comes alive on the Town Hall stage by our very talented neighbors and friends. As a special treat, tickets will be discounted to only $10 for Jinglefest so run and grab yourself some tickets as these shows are sure to sell out fast!
Santa's Arrival
Be sure to to be outside the Town Hall at 3:45 because at 4:00 on the dot, Santa will be arriving at the Town Hall by a special entry! He will then walk from the Town Hall to Wickham and Willoughby to read a classic Christmas story to everyone.
Book Readings
Santa will kick off the readings at Wickham and Willoughby, but be sure to stick around as other local authors will be doing readings throughout the afternoon. Starting at 4:00 with Santa, and every 30 minutes after, a new author will come in and read pieces from their works. So grab some hot chocolate and get comfortable while listening to fantastic stories! See the readers and their biographies below.
