The Grinch will arrive on South Grand to spread some holiday cheer and raise funds for Shriners Hospitals for Children. For a $7 donation ($5 with a toy donation), participants can have their photo taken with the Grinch.

At Breakfast with Santa at Eckerts, your child can tell Santa their Christmas wishes, have their photo taken with him and decorate some holiday cookies while your whole family enjoys a farm-fresh breakfast. 

The Central West End Window Walk features free holiday festivities, including trolley rides, ice carvings, pictures with Santa, carolers, musical & dance performances, s'mores, and beautifully decorated windows.

Let your kids have creative fun at Yucandu Art Studio over winter break! There will be multiple projects for each child to make using a variety of materials.

Drop off your kids for these gift workshops and they'll become creative little elves! Each child participating in Gift Workshops will make and wrap three fantastic gifts you are sure to love. No peeking!
