About Santa at the Fairgrounds
On weekends from December 7 – 22, the Halton Agricultural Society is bringing its popular Santa at the Fairgrounds event back for the third year.
Guests are invited to visit with the locally beloved Santa Morgan, a favourite of many Milton families. Santa Morgan will spend time chatting with each young guest to create Christmas magic, and parents are welcome to purchase a digital photo of the visit for $15.
There are no timeslot reservations, but there will be many chances to see Santa – the event runs from 10 am – 4 pm each weekend leading up to Christmas.
More to See and Do
- Holiday Market: Along with Santa visits, the fairgrounds will host a vendor market featuring local businesses and artisans – the perfect spot to finish your holiday shopping.
- Sweet Treats by the Fire: Cozy up with free hot chocolate by the outdoor fire pit. For an extra sweet fireside experience, smores kits are available for $2 each.
- Arts and Crafts: Kids can enjoy some creative activities at the free craft table for a special keepsake to bring home.
- Live Entertainment: Adding to the ambiance, live musicians will perform throughout the weekend.
