Seats fill quickly; arrive early if you plan to have lunch during the concert. Café Durham is open from 10:30 am to 3 pm. A limited lunch menu will be offered on Holiday Under Glass concert days from 11 am to 2 pm to streamline service and shorten the time in line for guests.

Conagra Brands is a sponsor of Joslyn’s Holiday Under Glass concert

nonperishable food items to the Museum to donate to Food Bank for the
Heartland ($1 off Word and Image: The Saint John's Bible exhibition ticket for general public with donation).
