Santa and Mrs. Claus, The Grinch and Whoville Friends, Horse Drawn Wagon Rides, Ice Carving, Face Painting, Petting Farm, Pony Rides, Holiday Crafts & More!
3. FREE Santa Visits at Sherwood Forest!
Bring your kids this holiday season to visit the Best Santa in the Metro Detroit Area. In his newly re-modeled Cozy Little Cabin Santa will be waiting to see each girl and each boy on every weekend this holiday season. Parents bring your camera & kids bring your wish list for Santa. As always this is a no charge visit and your child will leave with a Smile and a Candy Cane. New This Year – TOY DRIVE – Giving feels even better than receiving and that is why this year we are partnering with the Rainbow Connection to bring the Magic of Christmas to kids who are less fortunate. Help us spread Christmas Cheer to kids in need by bringing in a new toy or buying one from the Toy Section of our store.
4.
Lake Orion Lighted Parade
Join friends and neighbors downtown Lake Orion on Saturday, December 7th for the much anticipated Orion Lighted Christmas Parade! This year features a nostalgic theme of "A Storybook Christmas." No Orion Lighted Christmas Parade would be complete without the appearance of Santa and Mrs. Claus to usher in the holiday season. Expect to see the red couple in full force again this year!
5. Rochester Area Hometown Christmas Parade
The Rochester Area Hometown Christmas Parade has been a part of the community for over 70 years! The parade is brought to you by the Rochester Regional Chamber Foundation, with presenting partners: Genisys Credit Union & Serra Ford Buick GMC.
