Santa kicks off the holidays at Station Park
The holiday season at Station Park officially begins Nov. 28, when Santa makes his grand entrance into Fountain Square. The celebration runs from 5-7 p.m. and offers a festive, family-friendly evening filled with holiday characters, live entertainment and plenty of seasonal cheer.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early, grab a warm drink from Dali Crepes, and find a good spot to watch Santa's arrival. Escorted by the Farmington Fire Department and Farmington Police, Santa will travel through Station Park starting near lululemon, looping past Old Navy and Athleta, up the main horseshoe toward Apple and Sephora and finally making his way into Fountain Square.
Cameras are highly recommended; his arrival is always a moment worth capturing.
Before Santa appears at approximately 5:30 p.m., Fountain Square will already be buzzing with activity. Vendor Alley will be open with fun giveaways from Station Park stores and restaurants, and a DJ will keep the atmosphere lively with festive music. The evening also features a high-energy performance from the Elf SWAT Team, including two Fire Elf Dancers who will light up the night with a vibrant 20-minute show.
Holiday favorites will be mingling throughout the event as well. The Grinch, Buddy and Jovie, Jack and Sally, and the Christmas Bear will be available for photos and greetings with guests of all ages. The Snow King and Queen, returning for their second year, will once again bring a magical presence, appearing elevated above the crowd and adding an extra sparkle to the night.
When Santa reaches Fountain Square, he will take center stage to light the Station Park holiday tree, officially welcoming the season with music, lights and a shared sense of celebration.
As an added highlight, visitors will have the chance to enter to win $1,000 in Station Park tenant gift cards, perfect for completing holiday shopping—or treating themselves to something special.
The Santa arrival event has become a beloved community tradition, marking the beginning of a season filled with connection, celebration and joy at Station Park.
