The Little Match Girl

~one of Gainesville 's most beloved holiday traditions

A poor little girl tries to sell Matches to the townspeople of a small town at Christmastime to no avail. Snow begins to fall and Christmas Eve is upon them. All find shelter except for the Little Match Girl.

The Little Match Girl strikes a match and envisions dolls and stuffed animals that come to life from the Toy Store.

She strikes another match and sweets from the Candy Store come to life and dance for her. Everyone will enjoy the beautiful costumes and scenery as well as the dancing Dolls of the World, Ballerina Doll, Rag Doll, Gingerbread Cookies, Toy Soldier, come to life in this enchanting ballet!
