Welcome!

The Festival of Trees is open! We hope you will stop by to view our beautiful trees, wreaths and centerpieces in the annual Festival of Trees. Online bidding is also open. Visit www.bidpal.net/21fot to register and begin bidding on trees. Or if you’re looking for something special to take home today, our Christmas Boutique is open and filled with unique gifts and decorations. The Festival of Trees is open to the public at no charge, Monday thru Saturday from 10 am until 4 pm. We are closed on Thanksgiving, but open on Sunday, Nov. 28 from 1-5 pm. The festival ends on Dec. 4 so stop in before it’s over! Proceeds are used to support youth programming at the Pella Opera House.

Davis and Friends: Christmas at the Opera House returns on the Sunday after Thanksgiving at 2 pm (note new time!). Do you have your tickets for Jordan Smith, winner of season 9 of The Voice? A few seats remain for his Christmas show on Dec. 10. Also note the date of Jordan’s concert is different from the brochure mailing. He will be performing on DEC. 10!!

We also are hosting Merry and Martinis, a fun outing for the girls (and guys too!), on Friday, Dec. 3 from 4-6:30 pm. Pajamas and Pancakes returns for the children on Saturday Dec. 11 from 8:30-11 am. 

And don’t forget our Timeless Movie Series in December. It’s National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation on Thursday, Dec. 16 at 7 pm. We’ll have some prizes for festive Christmas attire and our signature drink of the evening will include a gluten-free oatnog either plain or spiked with some yummy stuff. 

It’s going to be a great Christmas season at the Pella Opera House. We look forward to seeing you at the Pella Opera House.

The Opera House is open Monday–Saturday, 10 am–4 pm for self-guided tours and special events.
