Free Photos with Santa | November 21 – December 19
Santa & Mrs. Claus will be visiting Lakeside Village this holiday season for a photo op! Bring your camera for free photos with Santa. Due to COVID-19 precautionary measures, this year’s setup will be different. Here are the rules:
- An appointment is required. Book here: https://bit.ly/38s3Z3q.
- Appointments will help shorten wait times and limit the number of people in line.
- Santa will set up near the roundabout at 1473 Town Center Drive (near Sunglass Hut).
- There will be a Christmas set for families to safely take photos with Santa.
“Santa will be in the photos; however, he will be at a safe distance and will not allow touching or hugging for everyone’s safety. In an effort to let as many people see Santa as possible, each appointment is limited to around three minutes. We ask that one appointment be made per family. For everyone’s safety, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and any other event staff are prohibited from touching guests’ phones for photos.”
