Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Watch for tickets to go on sale this fall, since the 2026 festival sells them ahead of the event.
  • Bring a jacket for the kids, because the Elf Town activities are outdoors even though the tree displays are inside.
  • Plan time for photos with Santa, the ride-on train and crafts, since all of them are included with admission.
  • Think about buying a tree, wreath or décor piece, because every sale raises money for Norton Children's Hospital.
