The Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival

Every other year, Christ Church celebrates Epiphany with the Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival. The festival comes to us from the manor houses of medieval England. Over 100 people in full costume will lead the audience in a celebration of Christmas. Wassail and refreshments will be served following the festival.

Seats are $10/person/festival seating. Seating is limited to 300 each evening, so get your tickets early.
