Holiday Special Events

Santa’s Sleighride!

All aboard Santa’s Sleighride! Join Santa and his carolers on a trolley ride around the North Pole (Lake Bluff)! Sing along to holiday carols while Santa shows you around some of his favorite places! Kids will have the opportunity to help the elves in our Community Room make ornaments for the big tree! All their hard work will be paid off by receiving a nice cold glass of milk served with Santa’s favorite cookies!

Please pre-register for this event, as space will be limited and registrations will not be taken at the door. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and all riders must register to get a ticket to board the trolley. Please see times below to register for your trolley ride and activity in the Community Room. Trolley groups are based on registration code.

Breakfast with Santa

Every December Santa pays a visit to Lake Bluff to have breakfast with little children and their families. He arrives with a hearty Ho, Ho, Ho, and listens to their Christmas wishes. Our local Kiwanis Club will be preparing delicious pancakes, sausage that’s scrumptious, ice-cold juice, milk, and hot coffee.

Proceeds will go to Kiwanis Charities. You may pay at the door; additional contributions are accepted.
