Step Into the Story: The Nutcracker

Join ABT for Step into the Story: The Nutcracker! This community-focused performances series was created especially for our youngest audience members! Enjoy a 30-minute relaxed sensory show at ABT’s White Box Theater and see beloved selections from the Nutcracker, learn steps from the ballet, hold real pointe shoes, and meet the dancers!

Lap children under one are free!

Just because the weather is cold doesn’t mean you have to stay home! We’ve got plenty of winter fun for families to explore with seasonal day trips, local holiday light displays, and our favorite Christmas events in Charlottesville. If you need an indoor activity, we’ve got nine local adventures for winter break. And don’t miss our guide to Charlottesville’s Christmas tree farms!

Don’t miss a thing—sign up for our free CharlottesvilleFamily e-Mag for weekly event highlights and family fun ideas. And be sure to meet our valued partners who serve local families.
