Christmas Diorama

The Christmas Diorama in Hemingford is one of the most spectacular and unique Christmas displays in the United States.

The Diorama is a pictorial story of Christmas painted on wood panels covering more than two and one-half football fields.  More than 114 wooden cutouts of people, angels, and animals depict 16 Christmas scenes. Spotlights make all scenes and written explanations clearly visible from your car.  A loudspeaker system creates the proper mood by playing six hours of continuous religious Christmas songs.

The Christmas Diorama opens shortly after Thanksgiving thru New Years located west of the Box Butte County Fairgrounds.
