## About

Families drive the lighted displays at Lakeview Park and then visit Santa inside Sunset Terrace. The parks page calls these Santa nights free and lists hot chocolate, cookie decorating, crafts, and a photo opportunity. No registration is required. The visits sit on the Lights on the Lake section, whose own header gives only the months December and January, while these Santa dates include November 28. Children do the crafts and cookie decorating; the page does not set an age limit.
