The Wantagh Museum transformed into a holiday hub on Nov. 30 during the Winter Wonderland event.
Hosted by the Wantagh Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the John Theissen Children's Foundation, families enjoyed carolers singing holiday tunes, a petting zoo, and photos with Santa and the Grinch. Attendees shopped for holiday gifts while savoring treats from vendors like Pies-on-Wheels, Simply Greekalicious, and Pips Pit. The first 500 families received swag bags, and guests supported the John Theissen Children's Foundation by donating new, unwrapped toys.
The festive evening ended abruptly when a small fire broke out, leading to the cancellation of the tree and menorah lighting. No injuries were reported.
