Tips & Advice
- Start early if you want Breakfast with Santa or the Jingle-All-the-Way 5K, because both happen in the morning, before the afternoon activities begin.
- Plan the afternoon around cookie decorating at Max & Emily's and make-and-take crafts from Art Reach, since both are only part of the afternoon lineup.
- Stay into the evening for the tree lighting in the Town Center, then find a spot for the Lighted Christmas Parade with Santa.
- Dress warmly for a December day downtown, and warm up between activities with hot chocolate from the downtown coffee shops.
- Have the kids write their letters to Santa during the afternoon, then grab a holiday photo at the In A Snap Photobooth.
