Enjoy an evening of free holiday fun and shopping for one-of-a-kind gifts at Candy Cane Christmas at Erin's Elderberries! 🎅❄️🎄This FREE family event will take place on Sunday, December 6 (the first Sunday in December each year!), from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will be packed with free treats, festive crafts, and exciting activities, along with our second annual Candy Cane Lane market, where you can shop for handcrafted gifts and unique treasures from local businesses.
As you stroll through the event, you'll find over a dozen FREE activities and festive crafts for the whole family to enjoy, including mess-free snowball fights with fluffy faux snowballs!
And of course, we can't wait for the children to meet our very special guest, Santa! 🎅
Santa told us he's thrilled to share an Interactive Santa Experience with all the little ones! Children will have the opportunity to gather around as Santa reads *'Twas the Night Before Christmas*, shares conversations with the group, and leads everyone in singing their favorite Christmas carols. It's a wonderful opportunity for children to make special Christmas memories with Santa! 🎅🎄📖🎵
Then, cozy up by a crackling fire while you toast complimentary s'mores, sip free hot cocoa and apple cider, and spend time with your loved ones and friends. 🍫🔥
We'll wrap up the evening with one of our favorite holiday traditions, the lighting of our Community Christmas Tree at Erin's Elderberries, promptly at 6 p.m.! Be sure to stick around as we welcome the Christmas season together! 🎄
Best of all, admission, activities, crafts, treats, and the Interactive Santa Experience are completely FREE! Of course, gifts and treats from Candy Cane Lane are available for purchase! Whether you're joining us for the festivities, shopping for Christmas gifts at Candy Cane Lane, or simply enjoying time with your family, we can't wait to celebrate with you!
