The highly popular “Santa on the Square” will return to Downtown Ocala this December.
The family-friendly holiday program will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays, Dec. 3-17, 6 to 8 p.m. at the downtown square. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus will be socially distanced. Guests are being encouraged to wear face coverings, maintain a physical distance of six feet apart in the que line and utilize hand sanitation stations supplied by the city. Santa will remain seated behind stanchions spaced six feet apart from guests.
This program is free but guests must reserve a time slot by emailing lartis@ocalafl.org. No more than eight people will be allowed in the photo at one time. Guests are encouraged to bring their own camera to capture the moment. Individually wrapped treats will be handed out to children after their photo with Santa.
