Explore our Holiday Maker’s Market, where you’ll find a diverse array of unique gifts and festive treasures perfect for everyone on your list. Held during our Santa Goes to Space event, this market brings together local vendors offering creative finds in a fun, holiday atmosphere. Join us for a shopping experience that’s out of this world!
Santa Goes to Space
It’s the Most Wonderful Mission of the Year
Bring the family for a holiday celebration that’s truly out of this world. Meet Santa from 12 to 4, visit with two real reindeer, and enjoy a warm cup of cocoa in our Fireside Room. From cookies and snacks to festive fun, it’s the perfect way to spend a winter afternoon surrounded by aircraft, lights, and the spirit of the season.
At 2:00 pm, gather in the theater for a special reading of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. The 501st Legion (Star Wars characters) will be making appearances throughout the day, and our Maker’s Market will feature unique gifts from local creators. Kids can write letters or color pictures for Santa before delivering them in person.

Santa’s Sleigh Ride & Tree Lighting in La Vista
One day, two events to welcome Santa to La Vista
Sunday, November 30
Free
Santa Claus is coming to town! Santa and his holiday crew will arrive in La Vista and travel through the City before stopping in Central Park to light the tree, lead a joyful sing-along and snap a big community selfie.
Santa’s Sleigh Ride, 1-5 p.m.
Neighborhoods Across La Vista
All ages will delight in waving at Santa as he passes by on his sleigh.
Santa’s Sleigh Ride will take place 1-5 p.m. in neighborhoods across La Vista. Here’s how to track Santa so you know when to expect him in your area:
- Scroll down to see a route map. Santa will be in neighborhoods west of 84th Street approximately 1-3 p.m. He’ll travel east of 84th Street around 3-5 p.m.
- Download the Glympse app. Use the app to track the approximate location of Santa’s sleigh or follow along in your browser at CityofLaVista.org/SleighRide.
- Follow the City’s live updates on our X account (@CityofLaVista). We’ll be posting live updates from the sleigh ride route throughout the event.
- Anticipate Santa and be outside before he gets to your street. Santa passes by streets more quickly if no one is outside to greet him. He and his crew will travel more slowly when they come across people. So, be sure to be waiting outside so he can spot you!
