Find Santa at these local events! Many of these events require advance registration or the purchase of tickets, while others may be events where Santa is scheduled to be in attendance or available for photo opportunities.
Please check each event individually to determine if tickets are required, cost if any, and additional details. Some of these tickets go quickly, so I recommend getting your tickets early if they are required!
If your favorite Santa event is missing, please email me at [email protected] so I can get it added.
Check back often as I will be updating this list as I hear about events or possible Santa sightings!
