Deck The Halls at Hammond Castle Museum

Join us for the 2025 Holiday Season as we proudly present our seventh annual “Deck The Halls” holiday celebration!

Travel back in time to a castle filled with lush, opulent textures inspired by the great medieval and Renaissance castles of Europe. Wander through rooms adorned with White Birch and Christmas trees, sparkling fairy lights, hydrangea-lace garlands, and elegant bows, each space transformed with its own unique holiday theme.

Costumes & Candlelight

Avoid the crush of crowds and enjoy Hammond Castle Museum after dark, as it comes alive with the spirit of Halloween.
