Maple Grove Hosts Santa Events Two Weekends in December
Two events open to the public are coming in successive Sundays to Maple Grove, and you can find Santa Claus at each one.
Santa at The Shoppes
Join in for a festive kickoff to the holiday season with Santa at The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes. On Saturday, December 7, activities run from 2 to 5:30 p.m. and include carolers, horse drawn carriage rides, light parade, kids’ activities, market place, selfie stations, toy drive, and live music. Of course, don’t miss Santa lighting the tree at 5 p.m. at the roundabout.

Santa at the Skate Loop
Straight from the North Pole, Santa and Mrs. Claus welcome you for a magical evening of skating, sparkling lights, and music at Central Park. This event, formerly known as Skate with Santa, is set for Saturday, December 14, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Bring your skates or rent them on-site; skate sharpening is also available. Don’t forget a camera for fun and free photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Presented by Maple Grove Parks and Recreation in partnership with the Rotary Club of Maple Grove, this is one holiday event you won’t want to miss!
