## About

Santa’s Workshop sits at the southwest corner of the Shelbyville public square and is brought by Shelbyville Kiwanis. The city holiday page lists hours of 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. It names December 5 as following the tree lighting and adds every Friday and Saturday in December leading up to Christmas. Visiting Santa is free. A printed photo is $5.00 cash only. Letters can be left in Santa’s mailbox and must arrive by December 13, 2026 to get a response. The Friday and Saturday dates in December 2026 before Christmas Day are December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, and 19. December 4 is included because it is a Friday in that set, while the only date the photo section names outright is December 5, so availability is needs confirmation. The tree lighting itself is the night of December 4 after the 7:00 p.m. parade. The street address with a ZIP on the page is City Hall, 44 West Washington Street, Shelbyville, IN 46176.
