Santa Days at Cedarburg Santa's Workshop
2025-12-06 11:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago) | WI
Thanks to generous grants from the Greater Cedarburg Foundation and Festivals of Cedarburg, Inc., a charming 15′ x 15′ gingerbread house graces Cedarburg’s Washington Avenue for the entire Christmas season; located just outside of the Cedarburg Community Gym:
W63N645 Washington Ave
Cedarburg, WI 53012
Santa and Mrs. Claus often stop by in the days leading up to Christmas. When Santa’s not in to greet guests, you can peek in the windows to see his charming fireplace and the toys he and the elves have been working on!
Santa and Mrs. Claus are excited to meet with as many families as possible this year. Please note – there is high demand and we can’t always accommodate every family. We encourage you to arrive early as we schedule families into time slots the day of each event, and there are a limited number of time slots each day. Once you are on the list, we encourage you to walk around and enjoy our lovely town while you’re waiting for your reservation. We begin taking walk-up reservations 15 minutes BEFORE the workshop opens. Please note, some families do come well before the workshop opens to stand in line to make their walk-up reservations.
We appreciate your patience and kindness. Our volunteers work very hard to try to get every family in, and are just as upset to have to turn families away. Please don’t make their jobs more difficult than it already is!

The City of Mequon is welcoming families, neighbors, and visitors to its annual Winter Wonderland Festival on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM, right in front of Mequon City Hall on Cedarburg Road.
More than just a holiday event, Winter Wonderland is a cherished community tradition — a time for Mequon to come together and celebrate the simple joys of the season. From the glow of twinkling lights and crackling fire pits to the sound of carolers and the laughter of children awaiting Santa’s arrival, the evening promises warmth, cheer, and memories to last all winter long.
It will be a fun-filled evening visiting Santa, enjoying hot chocolate, and yummy holiday treats! When you’re done, take a ride on the carriage through downtown Mequon or sit by the fire listening to local schools & churches sing Christmas carols. Kids crafts will also be available.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy outing with family, a festive afternoon with friends, or just want to enjoy the outdoors, Winter Wonderland offers something special for everyone. This event is FREE.
