Join us for a night of music, sleigh rides, and the arrival of Santa Claus. We will turn on over 1 mile of lights as the holiday season is ushered in with light. Our lighting ceremony will be led by two local actors from Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. Jamie Addison and Meagan Flynn played employees of the Chiefs and co-workers of Derrick (Tyler Hynes). The ceremony will begin at 6pm with music, dancers, and the arrival of Santa Claus. Lights will go on at 6:30 pm.
Santa’s Village Presented by Indep. Parks & Rec
Friday, Nov. 21
Indep. Uptown Market at 6:30pm
Kids are invited to Santa’s workshop in the Independence Uptown Market, sponsored by Parks & Recreation. They can play reindeer games, make crafts, write letters to Santa, and visit Santa.
Take a sleigh ride around the square, stop in shops for Pink Friday Shop Crawl to see their latest arrivals, grab a cup of hot chocolate or book a window seat and watch the lights as you enjoy dinner. Bring an unwrapped toy for donation to Community Services League Christmas Store. And immediately following the lighting join us at Wild About Harry for a meet & greet with Jamie & Meagan.
Join us in Historic Independence where holiday movies and memories are made.
