Tips & Advice
- Bring your camera on the movie-in-the-park Sunday, because Santa and Mrs. Claus pose for free photos right after the Santa Parade.
- On the carriage-ride Sunday you don't need your own camera, because the free professional photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus are emailed to you.
- Bring any expired or unused medications on the movie-in-the-park Sunday, because the Drop the Drugs Van is there to dispose of them safely.
- Bring some extra money for the gingerbread house craft and the kids' ceramic painting inside the Hazleton Art League, because both cost extra.
- Dress warmly for the outdoor movie, carriage rides and vendor market, because most of the Village happens outside in downtown Hazleton in December.
