Look for the little red and white house located next to the South Bend Chocolate Café. Inside, you'll find Santa throughout the month of December! Visits with Santa are free!

NEW THIS YEAR - To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, the following protocols will be in place for our Visits with Santa visits:

• To avoid people crowding in a line to see Santa, online reservations are highly recommended for Santa visits. The link for each weekend's Santa visits will appear on this site the Tuesday before each weekend. Each 10-minute slot can accommodate a family/group of up to 8 people.
• We will also be able to accept walk-up visitors, and a physically-distanced line will be created for those without reservations.
• Plexiglas will separate Santa from guests.
• Guests are asked to wear masks while waiting to see Santa, but can remove them during pictures.
• Hand sanitizer will be available.

Bring your own camera and take photos of Santa with your loved ones. Visits with Santa are free!

Each child who visits Santa will receive an “I Believe” sticker which will enable them to receive trinkets and discounts throughout downtown South Bend, including a complimentary chocolate bar from the South Bend Chocolate Cafe. The full list of this year's "I Believe" promotions will be coming soon!

Santa will be available for visits December 4th through the 24th, at the following dates and times:

• Fridays - December 4, 11, 18 • 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. (Santa's house will open December 4 right after the Tree Lighting Ceremony, approximately 6:30 p.m.)
