Tips & Advice

  • If you live in Sunrise and want a Santa photo, come early, because the residents-only photo-op only runs during the first part of the evening.
  • Stay until the very end of the night so you catch the drone show by Luna Lite Drone Shows, which closes out the event.
  • Plan to eat dinner at the food trucks and grab the free hot chocolate rather than eating before you arrive.
  • Bring a camera, because the decorations and holiday lights make a backdrop for family photos even if you aren't in line for Santa.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Luna Lite Drone Shows puts on a nighttime drone show at the end of the evening.
  • The photo-op with Santa is for Sunrise residents only and runs during the early part of the evening.
