Step into the magic of the season with Christmas at the Castle, a festive open house presented by the Lakes Area Music Festival. Gather inside the glowing halls of the historic Pillsbury Castle for an evening of warmth, wonder, and holiday cheer — a welcome escape from the snowy Minnesota night. Enjoy delicious food and holiday drinks while basking in the sounds of the season, featuring the return of artistic directors Scott Lykins and John Taylor Ward, Broadway’s Andrea Ross, musicians from the Minnesota Orchestra, and other special guests. Celebrate community, artistry, and the joy of Christmas in one unforgettable winter evening.
Tickets include:
- Light hors d’oeuvres and holiday refreshments.
- Holiday cocktails and wine in the Peacock Lounge.
- Mini-concerts presented throughout the Castle all evening.
- An evening of togetherness in one of Minneapolis’ most exquisite estates, decorated for the season.
