Christmas Trees Through the Ages Exhibit at Lefurgey

Put the Magic of Christmas in your 2023 holiday season with a visit to the Christmas Trees Through The Ages Exhibit presented by Culture Summerside and Wyatt Heritage Properties Inc.

 

The exhibit transforms the main floor of the 1867 Lefurgey Cultural Centre into an evergreen forest of decorated Christmas trees that tell how the tree became a central part of Christmas celebrations. It explores the industry that has grown out of the tradition and the ever-changing fashions that keep it going.

 

The exhibit, first launched in 2019, has new trees added each year. Christmas foods will play a small part in the 2023 presentation. The Magic of Christmas: Christmas Trees Through The Ages engages all five senses and will stir old memories while contributing to the forming of new ones. The presenters created the exhibit to give viewers the pleasure of the season without the expense.

 

The Magic of Christmas: Christmas Trees Through The Ages Exhibit opens on Monday, December 4 and runs through until Friday, December 22. The week of January 8 to 12 has also been allocated to the exhibit to give those who just can’t fit it into their December schedule an opportunity to view its beauty. The exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and on the Saturdays of December 9 and 16 from 3 pm to 8 pm.
