Hello friends! There are a lot of little events coming up in December for the holidays in Dunhaven, so I thought I'd list them out in the OOC so everyone is on the same page for when holiday breaks for the schools start and all that other fun stuff. If you have any ideas for events to take place in the town, please let us know! We pulled from other small towns, both real and from books/TV/movies, but we're always open for more ideas to add to the annual events.
1: Annual Tree Lighting. Held on December 1st at the town hall, the many Christmas decorations, including a large tree, are turned on at 8PM. Come early for Christmas carol performances from the choir at Dunhaven High School, hot chocolate and apple cider, and some words from the mayor.
2: Talent Show for Public & Private Schools. The auditions were held on November 14, so feel free to assume that if your character wants to participate, they were accepted in. The show itself is held in the auditorium of the high school.
8: Last Day of Fall Semester Classes at University of Dunhaven.
11-14: Final Exams at University of Dunhaven.
15: Start of Holiday Break at University of Dunhaven.
16: Holiday Dance for Public & Private Schools. This will take place at the Dunhaven Hotel and tends to be the under 18 version of the up-coming New Year's Dance. Fancy dress, lots of punch, dancing, the whole thing.
16-17: Community Theater Christmas Play. The local community theater is putting on Miracle on 34th Street!
20: Start of Holiday Break for Public & Private Schools.
23: Winter Fair. Held the Saturday before Christmas, the Winter Festival is largely a children oriented event with Santa Claus riding into the town hall parking lot to say hello and pose for pictures. Food, games, and entertainment are all provided for an afternoon of Christmas themed fun. Takes place at the town hall from 12PM-5PM.
31: New Year's Dance. This is an annual dance held at the ballroom of the Dunhaven Hotel to celebrate the new year with good music and some refreshments. People tend to go all out and it's become a more fancy event in recent years. You must be 18+ to attend.
