Description
How different would your holiday season be without electricity, central heat, or lights and decorations, or even without gifts as we expect today? Midwinter has been marked and celebrated since the beginning of human history in various ways and with numerous customs and traditions. The early French colonial settlers who came to the area of modern-day Lafayette brought with them their own mid-winter traditions. Even though these colonial people observed the same holiday of Christmas that many of us do today, the ways and traditions of their celebrations were much different than they are currently.
See and learn how the Holiday Season was celebrated 260 years ago. Living history volunteers will present demonstrations on French Colonial Holiday Traditions, food ways and winter skills of the 18th century.
