While storefronts in downtown districts may be busy, The Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor invites you to slow down. The organization will host its annual Natural Christmas Celebration on December 9th. Guests can walk around the property on its lit boardwalks while stopping to grab a quick snack, tour the Range Lights, listen to music, or make a wreath. The Ridges Sanctuary’s Jeanne Farrell says it has become a family tradition for many, even if it does not have the same bells and whistles as others.

While the wreath-making workshops do have a registration cost that goes with it, the rest of the event is free to enjoy.
