Victorian Christmas Stroll December 2, 2010

Beneath towering silver minarets, an extravagantly adorned former Tampa Bay Hotel captures the spirit of the season - Victorian style. Each of the 14 exhibit rooms showcase trimmed trees uniquely designed in 19th century themes and antique holiday accessories. While strolling down the Grand Hallway, your spirits will soar as you become immersed in carolers singing, Charles Dickens, much loved toys and wrapped gifts, Christmas stockings and Old Saint Nick. Complimentary spiced cider and savory cookies will be served on the veranda every day, and each evening carolers will perform music for your merriment. Visitors are invited to sing with the carolers in front of the 18-foot tree in the hallway. Proceeds from the Victorian Christmas Stroll fund significant museum restoration and preservation projects, as well as educational programming.
