East Aurora Rotary Club was thrilled to share our first annual “EA Wonderland,” a festive outdoor winter market at The Roycroft Campus Great Lawn for three weekends in December 2025.Inspired by the timeless holiday markets of Europe, EA Wonderland invites everyone to bundle up, sip something warm, and celebrate the best of the season with your neighbors in the heart of the village of East Aurora.
The new annual winter market was a celebration of the season, and featured local fare, tree sales and timeless holiday experiences for the entire family
Created as a family event that welcomes kids of all ages, EA Wonderland featured local vendors, holiday tree and swag sales, wreath building, photo ops, musical entertainment, and snow sculpture (weather permitting!). Guests enjoyed both hot cocoa and mulled wine, explored handcrafted goods, and participated in creating their own custom holiday cards on a historic Roycroft press.
“The event was a gift to the community” said Joel Brandon, Past President of East Aurora Rotary Club. “Our club practices a ‘Service Above Self’ mentality, and this new annual tradition will help us highlight all the good things we Rotarians do for the community.” The Roycroft Campus is a cultural treasure we all share, and EA Wonderland offers a fresh experience that showcases the best of East Aurora during such a special time of year.
