The Christmas in Santa Claus Festival is the best place in the Midwest to celebrate the Holidays!

You can start the day with a tasty pancake breakfast with Santa, check out the Christmas Craft Show, tour Santa’s Candy Castle, travel back in time at the Santa Claus Museum and wrap up the day with a twinkling tour of the Festival of Lights in Christmas Lake Village.

The 2008 Christmas in Santa Claus Festival will be held Saturday & Sunday Dec. 13-14. Other highlights include a parade featuring the Jolly Ole’ Elf himself, holiday concerts and story time with Santa.

This southern Indiana town is home to the only Post Office in the world with the Santa Claus name. Each year a special picture postmark cancellation stamp is available for holiday mail.
