Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum

Celebrate Nutcracker Day – June 27, 2026!

Join us for a full day of family fun at the Nutcracker Museum! Kids can enter the Nutcracker-Making Contest or the Nutcracker Drawing Contest, with judging held on Nutcracker Day (no need to be present—though it’s extra fun to demonstrate creations!). Enjoy free raffle drawings every 30 minutes, live drehorgel music, and special Nutcracker Hunts for both kids and adults.

This is also the one day a year kids can crack a real hazelnut, experiencing what nutcrackers were made to do. Enjoy free admission to explore over 9,000 nutcrackers from around the world, and don’t forget to snap a photo with our 6-foot Karl or the giant Mouse King! This is a fun event that is dedicated to the wonderful world of Nutcrackers. We love to bring attention to them by dedicating a whole day to them!
