In addition to decorating your McHenry new homes, baking and shopping for presents to put under the tree, what other holiday traditions do you have? If taking time out of your busy schedule to watch The Nutcracker Ballet at the Raue Center isn’t one of them, then now is the time to start a new tradition.

This weekend, in collaboration with Berkshire Ballet Theatre, the Raue Center is putting on yet another spectacular performance of this time-honored holiday tradition. On Saturday, Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. and again 7 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 18 at 4 p.m., audiences will be delighted with the sounds and sights of the season as The Nutcracker combines Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable music with poignant dancing and extravagant costumes.

This is an all ages show, so make sure to bring the whole family for an evening of fun. Tickets are $25, $22 or $19 depending on the seat. For more information, visit the Raue Center for the Arts website.

The Raue Center is just a short drive from our beautiful new homes at Liberty Trails in McHenry. Liberty Trails features two to four bedroom homes that span up to 3,200 square feet. With GE appliances, basement homes and the option to customize any plan to suit your family’s needs, you’ll find that no matter what design you choose, you’ll find the perfect home for entertaining friends this holiday season.

For buyers who are interested in new homes outside of McHenry, we have you covered too. We also construct Poplar Grove homes at The Trails of Dawson Creek, Richmond new homes at The Trails of Pheasant Ridge and Williams Bay homes at Bailey Estates.
