Kids and families can experience the magic as the downtown lights up with the holiday spirit on Santa’s countdown. Kids can visit Santa and Mrs. Claus in the decorated gazebo and enjoy hot cocoa and cookies. There will be a writing station where kids can pen their holiday wishes and mail their letters to the North Pole, horse-drawn carriage rides, Dickens Village Carolers, and free children’s books for each family while supplies last. Downtown shops and restaurants will be open.
