The Tablescapes fundraiser presented by the Friends of Old St. Ferdinand Shrine in Florissant is now my new favorite holiday tradition can’t believe it’s the first time I’ve experienced it. There are only five dates left to enjoy it, so don’t miss it.
Admission to this wonderland of 21 beautifully set holiday tables is only $5. Enter through the shrine at 1 Rue St. Francois St. and wander through three rooms of holiday splendor. Each table has a theme such as, “Polar Express,” “A Coastal Christmas,” “It’s a Barbie Christmas,” or “Gnome for the Holidays.”

While there, vote on your three favorite tablescapes and purchase some raffle tickets for an opportunity to win 31 fabulous raffle items featured in the holiday displays. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to maintain the Shrine’s complex.
The event, which opened at the Shrine on Friday, Nov. 17, is also a celebration of the shrine’s restoration that was completed after Coldwater Creek flooded the Shrine grounds and church in July 2022. The remaining dates to experience the Tablescapes are Saturday, Nov. 25, 11 -5; Sunday, Nov. 26, 1-6; Thurs., Nov. 30, 11-5; Friday, Dec. 1, 11-5; and Saturday, Dec. 2, 11-5.
