A tradition that stands the test of time ✨ Join PBT School as we bring the magic of The Nutcracker to Phipps’ historic glasshouse for Poinsettias and Pointe Shoes ✨ The holiday joy is complete with a sneak peek of Phipps’ Holiday Magic at this family-friendly event, which joins two whimsical holiday traditions under one roof.

Guests will see classic vignettes from Terrence S. Orr’s The Nutcracker, including the “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and “Waltz of the Flowers,” performed by talented pre-professional dancers from PBT School. After the show, visitors can stick around for a meet-and-greet session and photo opportunity with the dancers before exploring the Conservatory.

Don’t wait—this beloved holiday event sells out quickly!
