Santa Claus is coming to town on Saturday, December 7 for Ballard HolidayFest!
Everyone is invited to join the Ballard Alliance at this beloved FREE annual event in Marvin’s Garden park.
The park will transform into a winter wonderland featuring live music, friendly elves, holiday treats, fresh popcorn, hot cocoa/cider, free photos with Santa, and Tomte Trail prize
giveaways. Residents and visitors alike will enjoy holiday tunes from Swing 3PO and delightful winter photo ops throughout the neighborhood thanks to more than 100k twinkling lights adorning the trees.
The adventure continues – Follow us along the trail of the Jul-Tomte. Get your Tomte Trail passport and find the sneaky fellow inside 32+ Ballard businesses (bonus tomte hiding in Annie’s Art & Frame!).
Once you find the little tomte inside each location, kindly ask an employee for a stamp on the box next to the respective location. Continue on the Tomte Trail and gather as many stamps as possible. Then bring your passport, with at least 10 locations stamped, to the dropbox at Ballard HolidayFest from 2 – 5 PM in Marvin’s Garden Park on December 7th
to receive a prize and be entered in the Grand Prize drawing.
Every participant who turns in a passport at HolidayFest will receive a prize and those with 10 or more stamps will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a Family Membership to the National Nordic Museum! (Be sure to fill out contact info on your passport so we can let you know if you won – you do not have to be present at the drawing to win)
