Larger than Life

How the Brattleboro Festival of Miniatures unites an entire community through art and imagination.

This winter, the town of Brattleboro will glow with creative warmth. From Thanksgiving weekend through New Year’ s Day, Main Street will transform into a living gallery— a constellation of illuminated windows shimmering with imagination and charm. Inside each storefront, visitors will discover a world in miniature that is larger than life: snow-flecked villages, hand-blown glass ornaments, model trains circling tiny landscapes, and intricate dollhouses.
