About this adventure
Collinsville's Gateway Convention Center fills with more than 100 vendors for its two-day Winter Market the weekend before Christmas, with free admission and free parking. For families the draw on Saturday is free photos with Santa from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the prefunction area, so children can see Santa without buying a package, and parents can finish holiday shopping in the same trip. Saturday morning also has a ticketed Breakfast with Santa before the doors open, and Sunday has sign-up sensory-inclusive Santa visits (both listed separately). The market runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at the convention center on Gateway Drive in Collinsville.
