WALL, NJ – Allaire Community Farm, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with special needs, at-risk teens, and veterans, is set to host its annual Old-Fashioned Christmas celebration. The event will commence on Friday, November 24th, and will run every Thursday through Sunday until December 23rd, from 4 PM to 8 PM. All proceeds from the event will aid in sustaining the farm during the winter months.
This year marks the third iteration of the event, which has quickly become a staple of the community’s holiday season. The farm will feature an array of attractions including a Christmas village, light displays, train and wagon rides, and both indoor and outdoor petting zoos. Attendees can also enjoy holiday movies each evening, a model train display, and a visit from Santa Claus every night between 5 PM and 7 PM.
JoAnn Burney, co-founder of Allaire Community Farm, expressed enthusiasm about the return of this festive occasion. “It’s not just a celebration of the season; it’s a crucial support for our farm’s mission and the communities we serve,” said Burney.
The event has previously drawn nearly 30,000 visitors over the past two years, becoming the farm’s largest annual fundraiser. General admission is priced at $10 for adults and $6 for children under 18, with free entry for children under one year. Additional tickets are available for train rides, wagon rides, and feed bags at $3 each.
Allaire Community Farm operates as a 501(c)3 non-profit sanctuary, focused on healing and hope through its “nurture with nature” approach. The farm aids special needs individuals, at-risk teens dealing with mental health challenges, and veterans with PTSD, in addition to providing free produce to local families battling cancer.
