Families can visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, take a horse-drawn wagon ride, pose for photos with reindeer and a sleigh, and roast s'mores over the fire, with hot cocoa, cider and cookies to keep everyone warm. Carolers from the STMA High School choir and SOAR sing through the afternoon, and the park's tree lighting ceremony takes place at 5 p.m. The event runs from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, November 29, and most activities are outdoors, so the city's listing tells families to bundle up. Albertville sits along I-94 in Wright County, next to St. Michael, making this an easy holiday kickoff for families in the northwest metro. ## Similar picks in Minneapolis - [Christmas at the Folsom House (Taylors Falls Lighting Festival)](https://grassyknees.com/minneapolis/activities/christmas-at-the-folsom-house-taylors-falls-lighting-festival--listing-335c7893ee83bdad519819b6) — Fri, Nov 27 (+2 more dates) · 4:00 PM · Folsom House, Taylors Falls · Free · checked Oct 20.
