Holiday Family Festival
Wednesday, December 09, 2009 — Filed in: Events
On Sunday, December 13, Belfast Cohousing &
Ecovillage will host its second annual Holiday Family
Festival. The event, from 2-4 p.m. at 45 Edgecomb
Road, features live music, cookie decorating
stations, and a make-your-own decoration activity.
The Holiday Family Festival is free, and all are
welcome.
“Last year’s festival was a big success,” said Sanna McKim, the community’s project manager. “As soon as it was over, we knew we wanted to do it again. ”
The festival coincides with an open house hosted by the cohousing community. Members of the community will be available to talk about the project and its development.
“We’ve spent a lot of time reaching out to new members—especially families,” said McKim, “and we’re seeing results. Cohousing is designed to encourage gatherings like the Holiday Family Festival. People really respond to that idea.”
Featured musicians include guitarist Steve Chiasson—a member of Evergreen—and fiddler Chuck Markowitz, who also works as an emergency room physician.
“If you need a snack or a gift or something for yourself, or just a reason to get into the holiday spirit, this is as easy as it gets,” said McKim. “We’ve made the cookies, we’ve got the toppings, and we’ve got the materials for making decorations. We’ve also got a lot of spirit.”
