Presenting Sponsor

It's Candy Land!

The Gardens’ holiday décor will be reminiscent of the vintage board game we all remember as children. 

Stroll along the Rainbow Trail, past the Lollypop Woods and the Gumdrop Mountains, through the Peppermint Stick Forest, and the glistening light tunnel, on your way to the Candy Heart Carnival, featuring carnival games for kids of all ages. 

Visit the Molasses Swamp, the Old Peanut Brittle House, and the Candy Land Express Train on your way to visit Santa in his workshop.  Then head to the fire pit and whip up your own batch of s’mores.  The Garden Shop will be open and is a must-see for unique holiday gift ideas.  Make a wish at “The Wishing Tree” and create lasting memories with friends and family celebrating the holidays at Sherman Library & Gardens.
