Tips & Advice
- Arrive at the start so you hear the youth choirs singing carols on the square before Santa pulls up in his horse-drawn carriage.
- After Santa arrives, follow him over to the Elkhorn Garage, where kids can visit with Santa that evening.
- Dress warmly, because the caroling, tree lighting and Santa's arrival all happen outdoors on the square in downtown Elkhorn in December.
