The highly anticipated Holidays at Greystone is back again this year and promises to be a very festive event for families ready to celebrate the season. The annual fest, which opened up to reservations in early November, received an overwhelming response, selling out in less than a week, according to organizers. More than 1,600 guests had already made reservations and about 400 people were signed up on the waitlist, as of press time. For those who are lucky to have a scheduled reservation, the event will take place this weekend, Sat., Dec. 3, and Sun., Dec. 4, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Greystone Mansion & Gardens. The iconic building and grounds will be transformed into a bedecked indoor-outdoor space, with interactive experiences, multicultural themes and decorations, live music, caroling, dancing, craft-making, and storytelling, and a show in the newly restored Greystone Theatre by the popular Bob Baker Marionette Theater company. Santa and Mrs. Claus and their sleigh will be there, too, with lots of opportunities for photos or for children to share wish lists.
“We are thrilled to bring back this multicultural holiday wonderland to Greystone for families and friends to enjoy new and exciting interactive activities,” Jenny Rogers, Beverly Hills Community Services Director, told the Courier. “This spectacular and festive space will feature fun, enriching experiences, including the treasured Bob Baker Marionette show in the historic Greystone Theatre. Bob Baker Marionette is the oldest children’s theater company in Los Angeles, and they have been creating childhood memories since 1963. We look forward to creating more fond memories for everyone.”
