Santee is aglow with Holiday lights this season and you are invited to join in for some old-fashioned community spirit. The annual tree lighting ceremony is more than the flick of a switch. It involves activities, free Kid's Crafts in the Lowe's workshop, magic scratch ornament, create your own holiday gift bag, paper chain decoration and many fun things to keep the kids engaged and in the spirit.

Carolers bring holiday music with familiar songs we've missed all year long till Christmas rolls around once again. In the mood for good cheer, be sure to pick up some tasty food within Santee Trolley Square if you want to make an evening of it.

Write a letter to Santa Claus then visit with Santa.

Cookie Decorating and Holiday Tattoos engage children with hand-on skills and holiday thrills!

For the big kids (adults) and their "charges" take Horse Drawn Carriage Rides - $fee per ride

Parking is available on site and throughout Santee Trolley Square. Handicapped parking is also available.
