    Tips for a great listing

    What helps families decide to come
    • A poster or flyer is the single most useful thing you can send. A JPG or PDF straight from your printer file is perfect.
    • A photo from last year shows families what they’ll see. Pick one without close-up faces of children, or only with their parents’ OK.
    • Exact dates and hours, even if they’re the same as every year.
    • The little practical things: is it free, is there parking, is it indoors, can strollers and wheelchairs get in?

    Quick answers
    Does it cost anything?
    No. Listings on The Nativity Scene are free, and there are no paid placements.

    This form is for the US. For other countries, write to us and we’ll add it to the right page.
    Something changed after I sent it.
    Just send the form again with the new details, or write to us, and we’ll update the listing.
    Can I send it every year?
    Please do. We update the calendar every fall, and a new poster each year helps a lot.
