Some of the most nostalgic Christmas parties take place at Amish Acres amid the historic buildings that look, smell, and feel like cozy Christmas past. Thousands of clear twinkle lights fill the trees along the farm's fence row to welcome those to their parties.

New Year's Eve Cabaret
Following the final performance of the theatre's last show, a actor's musical cabaret takes the full theatre into the new year. It is followed by a fireworks display that is reflected across the farm's pond. It is a fitting to end and begin each year at Amish Acres.

Company Picnics
Summer time, summer time, is the best time to treat your employees to an old fashioned picnic, complete with picnic fare under large tents, with bingo for all, rolling hoops for the kids, interactive games for the family.
