About The Village

During the Christmas season Red Bud has become a destination for its beautifully lit historic downtown, and visits with Santa who brings a truly unique interaction, which kids will remember for a lifetime. While giving Santa their wish list, an exceptional feature is having a professional photographer capture this memorable moment!

It was decided to build a village of seven huts, besides Santa's own special house, for complimentary treats, hot cocoa and activities provided by community organizations. Horse drawn carriage rides, a petting zoo featuring alpacas and llamas, and festive holiday music to sing along with add to the festivities in the village.

The addition of a beautifully lit Community Christmas Tree is the crowning glory of the Village! A tree lighting ceremony, held on the Friday after Thanksgiving, kicks off the opening of Santa's Village and Christmas in Red Bud.

Santa's Elves welcome kids from 1 to 100 to experience the magic of Santa's Village!
