Downtown Kirkwood Winter Holiday Market & Santa's House

About this adventure

Downtown Kirkwood's open-air farmers' market transforms into a fragrant, bustling winter wonderland filled with hundreds of freshly cut Fraser fir Christmas trees, evergreen wreaths, handmade holiday garlands, and local holiday baked goods. Children can visit Santa Claus inside Santa's cozy Gingerbread House on weekends to deliver their wish lists, take photos, and receive a candy cane. The festive, walkable surrounding downtown district features holiday window displays, warm toy stores, and family-friendly cafes. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Friendly: Flat covered pavilion with smooth concrete flooring easily navigated with strollers and wagons in any weather. • Free Santa Visits: Visiting Santa in the Gingerbread House is completely free of charge; parents are welcome to take their own photos. • Restrooms: Heated public family restrooms with baby changing stations are located adjacent to the market at the Kirkwood Train Station. • Parking: Plentiful free 2-hour municipal parking lots directly adjacent to the farmers' market.
