Throughout the event, visitors can enjoy a variety of seasonal activities and entertainment. Offerings include opportunities to meet Santa, go ice skating, and take horse and carriage rides through the decorated downtown area. Ice skating, carriage rides, and certain other activities are available for a fee.
Celebration’s festivities have grown into a popular holiday tradition over its nearly three-decade history, bringing families from across Central Florida and beyond. Admission to the event is free, and public parking is also available at no cost.
The 28th annual celebration will run from November 28 through December 31, 2026.
