Lights are beginning to twinkle, decorations are being unpacked, and Lindsay Lohan is back for another small-town rom-com adventure.

We’re calling it — the holidays are here.

And what better way to usher in the season than an evening of Santa visits, hot cocoa, shopping, and merriment?

Village District’s annual Holiday Open House returns on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 5-8 p.m. This free one-day event features all the fixings for festive, family-friendly fun (and offers the chance to get a head start on that growing gift list).

Visitors will be able to:

  • Visit and take professional photos with Santa
  • Sip + stroll with free hot cocoa
  • Write Santa a letter at the kids’ letter-making station
  • Enjoy live festive tunes from musicians and roaming holiday carolers
  • Jumpstart that holiday shopping

Psst…you can also earn Village District Holiday Cash to use the rest of the year.

Get in the ho-ho-ho-liday mood
