The City of Greenwood, IN

The Greenwood Parks & Recreation Department is kicking off the holiday season with the return of several popular events including the Lighted Trail, KiD CiTY Christmas and Breakfast with Santa. This year, the lighted trail has expanded into Old City Park with decorated light poles down the promenade.

“I always enjoy seeing our community come together during the holiday season,” said Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers. “I am proud of the Parks and Recreation Department for providing memorable experiences for our residents and visitors with new features each year.”

Festivities will start at the Greenwood Community Center on Saturday, Dec. 7 with KiD CiTY Christmas. From 5:00-9:00 p.m., friends and families are invited to take a train ride through the Amphitheater Lighted Trail, jump around in the bounce house, enjoy hot cocoa and popcorn and, of course, grab a #SelfiewithSanta. Tickets are selling quickly and can be purchased online or at the Community Center.

Celebrate winter under the lights at the Amphitheater Lighted Trail, sponsored by Williams Comfort Air, Mr. Plumber and JCREMC. This year, the trail will extend through Old City Park with lighted poles on display, candy cane tunnels, lighted bridges, 85 trees of lights and more for a grand total of over 42,000 lights. Enjoy the festive atmosphere from dusk to dawn every night from Dec. 8 through the end of the month for FREE. 

Breakfast with Santa will return on Saturday, Dec. 14 at the Greenwood Community Center with a meal by SmokeHouse Catering, donut decorating and photos with Santa.
