The Christmas Carnival

Dec. 16 I 10am-1pm

At our Community Christmas Carnival kids experience an old time carnival atmosphere, playing games and winning prizes while snacking on carnival themed foods. Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive on their “sleigh,” courtesy of the Winter Garden Fire Department. Children are escorted by an elf through a maze of donated toys and the elf notes what items the child is wishing for as they speak with Santa. To keep the spirit and tradition of Christmas alive, parents return after and select toys for their child using the list prepared by the elves. A community fellowship is established, and dignity is maintained. It is an amazing experience.
