Miracle on Jefferson Street

Information

When: Saturday, December 6

Time: 10am - 4pm

Price: $15 per child | adults free

Experience that nostalgic, warm-fuzzy feeling with your family in our beautiful downtown this holiday season!

This magical day is a family self-guided event. Begin at the Art Center by picking up your goodie bag anytime after 10am but allow enough time because the fun ends by 4pm. Your family will spend a few hours making small crafts, painting pottery, a special photo backdrop, listening to Christmas stories, watching Christmas movies, and so much more! MOJS is most enjoyed by kids 10 and under.

Here is a list of shops who have planned a fun activity for families:

Art Center of Burlington
Burlington by the Book
The Beancounter
The Medium
Gypsi
Red Screen Door
Stitch N Smile
Burlington Vintage + Co
Today's Modern Hair Option
Burlington Black Water Mini Golf & Mississippi Moon Ice Cream Parlor
+ more businesses being added!
  • Visit Santa from 1-4pm at his Cottage now located at the Riverfront by the lighted Christmas tree.
  • Watch the movie, Elf, at the Capitol Theater at 12pm. (Can't make it at noon? Families can also get into the 7pm evening showing to Elf if you give them your ticket from MOJS.)
  • We’re bringing back the holiday photo backdrop at ACB! This year, we’re keeping it simple and fun — you can snap your own photos using your phone or camera. Volunteers will be on hand to help capture your group so everyone can be in the shot.

Help us spread a little extra cheer this season!

Art Center of Burlington is collecting non-perishable food items to support our neighbors through Community Action of Southeast Iowa.

Every can, box, and bag makes a difference — together we can help fill cupboards and hearts this holiday season.

Bring your donations when you visit the Art Center or during Miracle on Jefferson Street events. Let’s make this season brighter for everyone in our community!
