Things to see and do

Pitcairn Old Fashioned Christmas

Old Fashioned Christmas includes Santa arriving on the fire truck and a day filled with activities including hayrides and a bonfire with refreshments. The Christmas tree is lit by our King & Queen who are chosen from Pitcairn children. We appreciate the many volunteers, Pitcairn businesses, community organizations and individual donors who make these fun events possible!
