The Christmas Festival brings the magic of the season to life—sparkling lights, festive music, and the incredible creativity of our Charities of Christmas. Each organization designs a themed booth packed with one-of-a-kind raffle packages, and guests get to join the fun by choosing where to place their tickets for a chance to win. It’s a holiday experience like no other—filled with community spirit, joyful giving, and a little extra Christmas magic as visitors set sail on the Santa Cruise to discover Santa’s Secret Hideaway. ✨
