Audience participation is even encouraged in some segments of the show. It's the kind of evening that will make everyone talk long after it is over.
 

The City Market Christmas For Kids Celebration

For many kids, getting to do hands-on activities is important and The City Market Christmas For Kids Celebration allows them to do just that. They can choose from activities like making Christmas ornaments or decorating cookies, getting their face painted, or jumping in the moon bounce. There is a petting zoo where children can get up close and personal with the animals. They can also do quieter activities like listening to a storyteller or getting their photo taken with Father Christmas.
 
Our community is beautiful at any time of the year; however, at Christmas, it comes alive with the excitement of the season. Families with children of all ages will enjoy all of these activities and more.
