Here at Bonnet House, we know that there is nothing better than enjoying the holiday season with those near and dear to your heart. Whether your holiday season is spent relaxed by the fire, or booked and busy, all that really matters is the joy in connection and togetherness that this special season brings. This December, Bonnet House is excited to offer a variety of unique and festive opportunities to spend time with family, and spread holiday cheer.

This year, Bonnet House is bringing three exciting nights of Holiday Magic to Fort Lauderdale on December 11th, 12th and 13th. Each evening, Bonnet House will be open for self guided tours, live music, and libations!

All the trees, wreaths, and centerpieces throughout the house will be available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going to the preservation of the Bonnet House estate. To help us ring in the holiday season, we have invited some of Fort Lauderdale’s premier performers to provide fabulous entertainment each evening.

By Monica Estevez Bonnet House Blog No Comments

It may be hard to believe, but the holiday season is right around the corner! With all of the shopping, baking, decorating, cleaning, and endless list of to-dos, it can be easy to get lost in the shuffle and forget to celebrate such a special time of year. As we grow up, we sometimes need a little help to remember that there really is magic in the holiday season, and it’s important to take time to experience that special feeling of wonder and joy that comes with the holiday season.

Here at Bonnet House, we invite guests to celebrate 5 Nights Of Holiday Magic as our estate is transformed from a tropical paradise to a whimsical wonderland! See the Main House and grounds lit up and sparkling during this festive celebration. The magic kicks off on Friday, December 6th with our annual Holiday Magic Soirée, followed by Whimsical Wonderland, an evening for families on December 7th, and our Evening Experiences on December 11th, 12th & 13th with live music and libations each night.

Bonnet House will also be open for self-guided tours with exciting performances from talented artists including the Spotlight Carolers, Gin & Jazz, Elvis, and many more. Plus, don’t miss special visits from Santa Claus and the delightful characters from “POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance” with surprises from their new holiday television special.

These popular festive nights are meant to encourage individuals and families to step back into a time where one could really slow down during the holiday season and take time to experience the joys of togetherness and generosity. It is no coincidence that these events also serve as our largest fundraiser of the entire year. With the help of our fabulous team of volunteer designers, our estate will be decorated with a stunning variety of trees, wreaths, and centerpieces. These pieces will be available for purchase, and 100% of the proceeds will directly benefit the preservation of the Bonnet House estate.

We hope that you and your loved ones will be able to enjoy our estate during this special time of year. You really are never too old to experience the magic and whimsy of the holiday season. To learn more about these events, and to purchase tickets, click here.
