SPecial Events
Celebrate the season with us!
These signature philanthropic occasions not only raise vital funds for Lafayette Ballet Theatre but also offer guests a unique opportunity to celebrate the holiday season. Many of our events are also available for corporate sponsorship opportunities.
Nutcracker Tea
Each November, we host the Nutcracker Tea, where children can enjoy a delightful tea experience, delicious holiday sweets, live performances featuring excerpts from The Nutcracker, themed crafts, and a festive atmosphere filled with Christmas magic! Perfect for little dancers, Nutcracker fans, families, and anyone who loves a little holiday sparkle. Come dressed in your holiday best and make a special memory together! Reserve individual tickets or buy a table for the whole family! Sponsorships also available.
Nutcracker Auction
Add a little extra magic to your holiday décor with one of our hand-painted 12″ wooden Nutcrackers, beautifully transformed by talented local artists into unique Christmas masterpieces! These hand-painted pieces are available during a one-week online auction where the highest bidder can take home a special creation to use each holiday season. Sponsoring the auction site is also available. All funds support the mission of Lafayette Ballet Theatre.
Nutcracker Boutique
Stop by the Nutcracker Boutique before or after The Nutcracker performances at the Heymann Center and take home a little piece of the magic! Whether you’re looking for the perfect keepsake or a gift for your favorite dancer, our boutique has you covered. We’ll have Nutcracker t-shirts (youth and adult sizes).
Nutcracker Jewelry Raffle
Win a Little Holiday Sparkle! Thanks to the generous support of local retailers, we’ve been able to offer a jewelry raffle.
