Santa’s Village at Jake's Landing in Porthill is always a memorable Christmas experience for everyone, regardless of if you’re bringing the whole family, having a date night or hanging with friends. 

The festivities will take place Dec. 15 and 16, from 2 p.m until 7 p.m. 

Have the kids finalize their Christmas list and bring it for their visit with Santa Claus. Kids can then  can do some crafts with the elves before sitting down for a story with Mrs. Claus. 

Bring your appetite, as well, because Santa’s Village boasts a smoked meat fest that will definitely have you leaving with a full belly.
