The DeKoven Center’s Dec. 6 gathering spans an artisan market, crafts and a bake sale, chapel performances, and a courtyard nativity with costumed goats. Admission is free; cookie decorating is paid.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Advent Mass is scheduled for 10 a.m., an hour before Christmas at DeKoven’s posted opening. After that early start, the day’s activities are spread among the Gymnasium, Taylor Hall, St. John’s Chapel and the Courtyard, so visitors can plan around shopping, making, music or the outdoor program.
The Gymnasium’s Holiday Market is the main shopping stop, with artisan vendors and handcrafted goods listed from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Taylor Hall offers a different kind of visit: a Christmas Bake Sale and Ornament Making Craft Station run during the same hours.
Cookie Decorating Craft is also scheduled in Taylor Hall, and the listing marks it as paid. The activity’s price is not stated, so free admission should not be read as covering every activity or purchase.

St. John’s Chapel has a distinct sequence: the Advent Mass precedes the event’s posted hours, followed by an afternoon performance from the Modern Renaissance Trio and a 3 p.m. appearance by the Horlick High School Madrigal Choir. The choir is also scheduled to perform around the event beyond its chapel slot.
That makes the music easier to fit around a visit to the market or craft activities: the trio and choir have separate listed performance times, while the choir’s additional appearances are not confined to the 3 p.m. performance.

In the Courtyard, a live nativity sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin and the event’s “Goats in Christmas Coats” are both scheduled through the afternoon. The event overview also mentions food, drinks and raffles, but does not give a menu or raffle details.
The holiday program sits within a campus that began as Racine College, founded by the Episcopal Church in 1852. The school was laid out around a quadrangle inspired by English colleges; faculty and students lived on campus and ate together in a common Refectory, now called the Great Hall. That history gives the chapel and campus buildings a specific connection to the Episcopal institution that preceded the present-day center.

The activities run in parallel across several buildings and the courtyard, while the chapel offers a sequence that begins before the event’s public hours. The choir’s additional wandering performances add a less fixed music option alongside the two timed chapel performances.
The event is scheduled for 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Advent Mass is listed at 10 a.m. in St. John’s Chapel.
