Special shopping from 2:30-3 pm for kids with sensory needs only!

Give your child a chance to surprise the whole family this season

A beloved community tradition, the Kids Only Holiday Shop invites children ages four to ten to shop for loved ones – all on their own! This cherished tradition sparks independence and lets kids feel the joy of giving.

First, high school students – our cheerful Santa’s Helpers – escort each child through the boutique. Along the way, kids explore booths from local vendors and artisans.

Next, the Elves help young shoppers manage their money and make thoughtful choices. Finally, the Wonder Wrappers step in to wrap each purchase – so every gift is ready to be placed under the tree.

Sign up today and make holiday memories that last!

More Information:
