The 31st annual Ringing in the Holidays, Carillon Historical Park’s beloved holiday fundraiser, returns Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026, from 5:30–9 p.m.

Last year, Ringing in the Holidays was expanded, moving much of the event outdoors with exclusive experiences

This year, the new tradition continues, while also bringing back beloved elements of the former event.

Guests will enjoy ample indoor seating, festive food, drinks, and music inside the park, while unique outdoor entertainment — including ice-sculpting, a handbell choir, flaming cressets, and bell wagon concerts by carillonneur Alan Bowman — offers a one-of-a-kind way to experience the open-air museum after dark.

Please join us for the 31st annual Ringing in the Holidays — an exclusive fundraiser and the preview party for A Carillon Christmas, the park's month-long holiday celebration. 

Much of this event is outdoors, so please dress for the weather.

Members: $75 • Non-Members: $85 • Jingle Bell Patrons: $300
