Milford Christmas Market and Santa Visits

Downtown Milford, Inc. (DMI) and the City of Milford are pleased to announce the events scheduled for the 2020 Holiday Season.  In an effort to prevent overcrowding, events have been modified, reduced and in some cases cancelled. COVID courtesies – masks (the merrier, the better), social distancing, etc. – will be in effect for all events.

In lieu of the traditional Holiday Stroll on the first Friday of December, DMI will host an outdoor Christmas Market from 5 pm to 8 pm on Friday, Dec. 4. Artisan vendors selling holiday gifts, decorations and goodies will be setup in the Farmers Market area.  Downtown businesses will also be open late for holiday shopping. 

One of a kind Santa visits will take place from the comfort and safety of vehicles via the drive thru window at the Milford Customer Service Center at 119 S. Walnut Street in downtown Milford.  Two separate lines will form: one will enter on SE 2nd St. & Pearl Alley behind theMilford Museum; the other will enter on SE Front Street and Pearl Alley behind the First
Presbyterian Church.  Watch for traffic elves for help and directions.  Santa visits are free – donations are always appreciated – and will occur from Nov. 28 until Dec. 20 on Fridays from 5 pm to 8 pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am to 3 pm.  

Santa will not be able to make his usual grand entrance on Walnut Street, but will schedule multiple roadside appearances throughout the holiday season.  He may be joined by Mrs. Claus and some elves too. 
A life-sized image of Santa will randomly pop up in local businesses where families can visit and take pictures.  
Santa’s House in Downtown Milford will be decorated for kids of all ages to peek in and see the magic of the season from Thanksgiving until Christmas!
