GNOME-MADE CRAFTS, CAPS, TREATS, MUSIC & MORE!
The lobby opens 1 hour before showtime. Come early! Visit the
Gnome-made Gift Shop filled with unique treasures as little as 50¢.
First year to the fest? Get your gnome cap here ($3). Returning? Visit the Grandma Gnomes by the fireplace to get your free tassel sewn onto your cap for FREE! Stop by the Gnome Bakery and Tavern for refreshments before and after the show. Enjoy live music filling the lobby, courtesy of flutist Cindy Butler and her students (Saturday).
WIN A GNOME TWIN DOLL!
Try your luck to win a hand-sculpted Gnome twin doll by Sally Susner. Each year she had lovingly created one boy and one girl gnome, each wearing custom made clothing with delightful details. Sally has signed and dated each doll so you’ll always remember the year they were “born.” Have fun finding where she signed them! If you win, bring back your new baby to next year’s Festival of the Gnomes so they can get a tassel for their cap, too! Two drawings will be made at the end of Sunday’s show. Winner need not be present.
FREE PARKING
There is plenty of parking within the park and south of Jefferson Street.
