Newport Nutcracker at Rosecli

It’s hard to imagine a more enchanting Nutcracker than Island Moving Company’s annual production, which sets the beloved ballet of waltzing flowers, dancing sweets, snow angels and the Sugarplum Fairy in Rosecliff mansion to dream-like perfection.

The Details: Nov. 26-Dec. 3. Tickets range from $40 pillow seats (children ages 5-10) to $135 for a champagne gala. For more information, visit islandmovingco.org.

Ocean State Artisans Craft Show

The huge selection of handmade wreaths, jewelry, soaps, hand bags, pottery, woodworking and stained glass creations are reason enough to love the Ocean State Artisans annual craft show, but each year the $2 admission (or $1 plus a non-perishable food item for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank) also raises thousands of dollars for local charities, giving an extra boost to our holiday shopping spirits.

The Details: Nov. 26, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Nov. 27, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. CCRI Knight Campus in Warwick. For more info, visit oceanstateartisans.com or call 398-1113.

Gilday Magic

It’s the most magical time of the year: Illusionist Marc Gilday stages a holiday spectacular at the historic Park Theatre in Cranston. In addition to the mind-bending feats, the show features dancing, singing, a live orchestra and, just maybe, a woman who transforms into a cheetah.

The Details: Nov. 26-28. Tickets $33-$60. For tickets and show times, visit parktheatreri.com.

Santa’s Arrival and Parade at RWP Zoo

Santa swoops in by helicopter (or fire truck if the weather is naughty) for a day of parading, caroling, dancing, gingerbread-house-building, face-painting, costumed characters and all-around merriment. See what Santa brings for the elephants, giraffes and farmyard critters.

The Details: Nov. 27, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Admission is free. For a full schedule of festivities, visit rwpzoo.org.

The Details: Dec. 2, 5-9 p.m. Tickets $35 in advance, $50 at the door. For information, visit alz.org/ri or call 421-0008.
