Holiday Houses for Habitat

Holiday Houses for Habitat is Fort Wayne's newest holiday attraction, where hundreds of snow village homes, manufactured by Department 56, are showcased at the Grand Wayne Convention Center for families to enjoy - FREE - throughout the holiday season. This new display offers expanded villages with even more awe inspiring details as well as the enchanting animation and beloved trains! We are building the largest community snow village in Indiana and laying the foundation for a Fort Wayne holiday tradition that families and visitors will enjoy for generations.


"It is exciting for those of us from Fort Wayne Habitat to be able to offer the Holiday Houses for Habitat event to the public free of charge. We encourage you to come and enjoy Holiday Houses for Habitat and have peace among you and your family this holiday season."  - Carol Keplar, Executive Director, Fort Wayne Habitat for Humanity.
