"Deck the Halls" Ushers in City’s 2026 Winter Festival Weekend

New Tallahassee Senior Center-Welaunee the venue for signature fundraiser on Dec. 4

November 13, 2026

"Deck the Halls,” hosted by the Tallahassee Senior Center, is the perfect holiday kickoff for the City of Tallahassee’s 2026 Winter Festival weekend. The annual event is set for Friday, Dec. 4, from 6-8:30 p.m., at the new Tallahassee Senior Center-Welaunee. On this special night, the building at 2743 Welaunee Blvd. will be transformed into a winter wonderland – with seasonal décor, live music, heavy hors d’oeuvres, desserts and festive drinks.

The community is invited to enjoy an evening of good cheer and great company. “We are really excited,” said Tallahassee Senior Services Manager Ceola Grant. “Holding ‘Deck the Halls’ at our new Senior Center will allow us to comfortably accommodate everyone who wants to attend. Instead of using one room, we’re able to spread out and host different activities in multiple rooms. Guests will have plenty of space to get up, move around, and even dance.”

Prize raffles, giveaways and a martini bar are among the highlights. Shop for gifts at the silent auction and bid on everything from decadent desserts and restaurant gift cards to art, jewelry, event tickets and vacations. Celebrate the holidays with family, friends and co-workers without having to worry about the clean-up!

"Deck the Halls" is more than a festive gathering; it is the Tallahassee Senior Center Foundation's premier fundraiser supporting services and programs for active adults, age 50 and older. Tickets are $60 each. New this year, reserve a table for 8 for $600. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit https://www.tallahasseeseniorfoundation.org/deck-halls.
