LUNCH WITH THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY IN THE LAND OF SWEETS
The Sugar Plum Fairy and several of her friends from the Land of the Sweets extend a personal invitation to attend the Sugar Plum Fairy Luncheon for an enchanting afternoon full of fun and memories. Children can meet a few of their favorite Nutcracker characters while enjoying a delicious lunch, plenty of sweets, holiday music, stories, and more. Each child will receive a complimentary photo with the Sugar Plum Fairy. The luncheon will be held Saturday, December 12, 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center (350 Whittier St). Tickets are $15 each. Families with three or more attending will receive a 15% ticket discount.
