The Village of Rosemont is excited to announce the third annual display of hand-painted Nutcrackers.

This public art project’s goal is to support our art community and promote “Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet,” a touring production coming to the Rosemont Theatre December 14.

The 2025 program has been named “Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet’s Wonderland”.  This year each nutcracker will be designed and painted by 17 different local High School art programs mentored by their teachers and professional artists.
