Santa on the Square

Santa and his reindeer will be out late this year to help light up the Downtown Carrollton Square. Santa and friends will be on-site to spread holiday cheer. Carrollton is bringing back the giant inflatable snow globe, crafts, toy soldiers stilt walkers, and live reindeer.

Santa will be bringing a few friends along to the celebration, also carolers, festive gingerbread cookies, and more lights. Don't forget to visit all the family photo op areas as well as the shops. Visit the local merchants for gifts for friends and family.

Be there by 6pm for the official lighting of the Historic Downtown Carrollton Christmas tree. You'll hear from the mayor, enjoy some performances by community members, and stay for a dazzling drone light show by Sky Elements.
