SantaLand in the Old Mill District

About this event

It’s the season of holiday cheer, Rudolph, sugar plum fairies, candy canes and all things magical and wonderful. And, of course, everyone’s favorite, Santa Claus!

On Friday, Nov. 27, Santa will make his 2026 debut at SantaLand in the Old Mill District. This year, SantaLand is moving to the space between Kara’s Kitchenware and Anthropologie. The ground-floor location will make SantaLand more accessible for families and little ones while keeping the same beloved traditions and holiday magic.

From the moment you arrive, SantaLand is a place dedicated to the magic of Christmas. Families can enjoy Santa meet-and-greets, where kids can share their holiday wishes before sending their wish lists through the special North Pole Express mailboxes outside SantaLand. No postage stamps are needed! Just include a return address on the envelope so Santa knows where to send a handwritten letter in reply.

What’s that twinkling in the corner? Why, it’s the Tree of Joy!

In partnership with the Rotary Club of Greater Bend and The Salvation Army, the Tree of Joy returns to SantaLand, decorated with tags that say little but mean so much. Each tag represents the holiday wishes of a Central Oregon child or family in need.

Community members are invited to choose a tag, shop for the items listed and return the tag and gifts to the Tree of Joy. The gifts will then be delivered to the children and families who need them, helping make their holiday wishes come true and spreading a little extra love throughout the season.

SantaLand operates 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the following dates:

• Nov. 27-29

• Dec. 4-6

• Dec. 11-13

• Dec. 18-21
