The 8th annual SANTA IN THE PARK!  It's not too early to start planning for the holidays.  Mark your calendar now.  Santa and his elves will be in the Los Gatos Town Plaza Park in December.  No fee for sitting on Santa's lap, however, there is a recommended donation of $5 per child. This wonderful Santa takes the time to talk individually with each child.  We hear, time and again, how our Santa is THE Santa to many local children.  Bring your camera to capture the moment.   Light rain will not cancel this event.

Sunday, December 5  - 11:00AM-3:00PM  Santa Paws Day: Children and four footed friends are invited to sit on Santa's lap.

Sunday, December 12 - 11:00AM-3:00PM (No pets)

Sunday, December 19 - 11:00PM-3:00PM (No pets)

You hear jingle bells coming up your sidewalk, the door opens, little Sam and Emily can't believe their eyes, it's SANTA!  And not just any Santa, for many local children, he is THE Santa (the same wonderful Santa for the past 9 years).  Make sure your camera is charged as SANTA sits by your family tree with an elf by his side and your child on his knee.  Yes, there will be time for family group shots too.  Limit of 6 people sitting on Santa's lap per 10-15 minute visit. We can book a double visit if you have more than 6 that will be sitting on Santa's lap.  A map may be requested upon registration.
