Winter Fair
At Austin Waldorf School, our Winter Fair is pure magic—a heart-warming seasonal celebration that springs to life through the enthusiasm of our students, parents, and the greater Austin community.
On Saturday, December 6, families will light up the campus with crafts, candle-dipping, puppet shows, live music, artisan vendors, and festive food—creating a joyful tapestry of shared experiences.
At the 45th edition of this annual celebration, there will be over two dozen of handcrafted vendor booths, student-made treasures, raffle baskets, and the Juniper Tree’s tax‑free holiday shop to bring our larger community together, while seasonal aromas and music—from coffee and hot chocolate to student performances—spark connection, celebration, and the spirit of giving. It’s a day where community isn’t just present—it’s alive, woven through every smiling face and helping hand.
