Photos with Santa are a River Park Square Tradition


This holiday season, Santa returns to River Park Square to welcome you beneath River Park Square’s spectacular 50-foot Christmas tree. Visits with Santa are free and you’ll have the opportunity to capture the magic by purchasing a keepsake photo. Make a memory the whole family will treasure forever or simply commemorate 2026 with your friends, co-workers or community groups. You’ll easily find Santa on Level One in the River Park Square Atrium.
