Presented by the Morton Grove Days Commission,
Morton Grove Park District, and the Village of Morton Grove, this free
event is a true celebration of our community. It's a time when we all come
together to share the magic of the season through festive and fun holiday activities.
On December 5, ring in the holiday season with family-friendly
activities and a visit with Santa. Families wishing to meet
Santa and/or redeem a specially marked candy for a prize
must come to the gymnasium at Prairie View Community Center.
Look for a "preferred redemption time" on the specially marked candy.
After meeting with Santa, if a child has a specially marked candy, they will be directed
to the prize redemption room. All visiting children will receive from Santa,
a coloring book and box of crayons (one bag per child).
You do not need to register for this free event.
