Downtown Nutcracker Stroll & Silent Auction!
Tuesday, December 17, 2024 by Phil George


Come to Downtown Carlisle and stroll around town and check out over 40 nutcrackers that have been created by our downtown merchants! Each nutcrackr is 4ft tall.


Every single nutcracker has been uniquely designed and crafted by downtown merchants and Dickinson students at The Trout Gallery.

The nutcrackers will be on display at businesses around town for the next three weeks. They might be hanging in the windows or they could be placed somewhere inside our local merchants. Bring the family down and check out all the nutcrackers and finish up your holiday shopping by supporting local businesses. Let's see if you can find them all.

All nutcrackers are up for auction so as you are strolling around our beautiful downtown and a nutcracker catches your eye - scan the QR Code and bid on that nutcracker for a chance to win it and take it home with you. Bid on one or bid on them all.


A Nutcracker location map can be found below.

To bid on the Nutcrackers, please visit our online auction site https://www.32auctions.com/nutcrackerstroll

Our Downtown Nutcracker Stroll & Silent Auction will run through the new year and end on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

Proceeds from the auction will go to Love Carlisle and will be used for future community promotions and events in downtown. 

Special thanks to Stephanie Gilbert from Georgie Lou’s Retro Candy for brainstorming this idea and to all the merchants tand Dickinson students that decorated nutcrackers.
