With 50 years of continuous support from the Friends of Lorenzo we present Christmas at Lorenzo: A Storybook Holiday from December 10th through December 14th. Our fifteen groups of volunteer decorators have each chosen a holiday-themed book, movie, play, or cartoon as the inspiration for decorating in the Mansion and Visitor Center.
Our amazing decorators have had a lot of fun turning the rooms of the Mansion and Visitor Center into a vision of their favorite holiday stories. Visit to see the festive decorations based on The Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol, The Long Christmas Dinner, Elf, The Velveteen Rabbit, The Mitten and more. For 2025 our decorators include Wendy Van der Bogart, Elizabeth and Nancy Whiting, Syracuse Garden Club, Linda & Jeffery Kellish, Barbara Bartlett, Kathleen Conway Hoak, Dixie Conway, Beth Duffy, Jaime Colvin, Mark Smith, Kerstin and Megan McKay, DreamThemeDesignsCNY, Laura Loveland, Susan Anthony, Mary Gasparini, Kristen Rubacka, Lorenzo Driving Competition, and Lorenzo staff.
The Celebration times include a tour of the decorated mansion, live music, wassail and sweet treats, and a horse-drawn sleigh/wagon ride with Lamplit Farm. Lorenzo has a special entertainment lineup this year for our Celebration dates and times. Laine Gilmore will ‘tickle the ivories’ as she plays holiday favorites on the piano Thursday evening December 11th in the Drawing Room, while the Chord Wood Quartet sings holiday classics on the second floor.
