The 20th Anniversary of Santa Day in Fenelon Falls happens on Saturday, November 30. It's all free due to the generous support of the volunteers, community members and local businesses that make this day shine every year.
Gingerbread
One of the many popular events is the building of a gingerbread house or creation of choice. During Santa Day this year at the Gingerbread Headquarters (Slices 'n' Scoops), organizers will be judging and putting on display several categories, from youngsters to professionals. This event is open to all ages and will be judged accordingly.
All entries are due by November 29. You can find out more at www.santaday.ca.
If you just want to decorate a Gingerbread Cookie, be sure to visit the Gingerbread House on Santa Day. It's free and fun!

There's plenty to do around town during the day. There are activities for the whole family and some great shopping, too.
Stop by Santa’s House at Stewart Morrison Insurance Office – 47 Colborne St. Santa is in his House starting at 11 am. Everyone loves a free photo with Santa! He will give a free gift to show you how much he enjoyed your visit. Please note: Santa’s house shuts down at 3:45 pm so he can get ready for the parade.
Visit the Petting Zoo at Bert’s Appliances – 54 Colborne St. This popular attraction is back with all the farm animals for you to visit with. If it rains, they’re all tent covered – and so are you. Mom and Dad will love the hand sanitizer too!
Light Up The Night Parade – 5pm
The night time parade and fireworks display are the cherries on top of the delicious cake that is Santa Day in Fenelon Falls.

Come a wee bit early to snag the perfect spot for you and your family to enjoy all the illuminated entertainment.
This parade involves local businesses, volunteers and professional marching bands. The creative and amazing floats, dancers and music makers, along with tons of Santa Day extras, make the night time parade at Fenelon Falls' Santa Day an event for all ages to enjoy.
Spectacular Fireworks – 6pm
Immediately after Santa crosses the bridge and moves up the street you will see the most amazing fireworks light up the sky over the gorge down by the falls.
