While the rest of downtown continues its day to day hustle, the whimsical paradise of lights, jingle bells, festive songs, adoptable pets, and cocktails are brightening up the corner of Congress St. and 5th Ave.

Also, did you know Santa Claus is hanging out, waiting to greet you?

Well, he’s had his list and he has checked it more than twice because this year’s display is as joyous as ever. Each weekend, the entire family can meet up with Santa and his elves, create arts and crafts, munch of some sweet treats, and even donate to local charities.

Aside from that, the festivities also cater to those 21 years and older. The bar inside will be utilizing holiday spirits from the holiday-inspired cocktail menu.

Take a glance at the hours, so that you plan your experience accordingly.
