Children make a Christmas card to hand to someone they care about, working in the Community Room at NOPL Brewerton. It is billed as a drop-in craft and is aimed at kids ages 4 to 7 and tweens ages 8 to 12.
The craft is offered on Monday, December 7, 2026, from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. It is an in-person program, and the listing shows no price and no registration step.
Parent tip: The 3:30 start lines up with the end of the school day, so you can stop in on the way home and stay only as long as one card takes. Have your child decide who the card is for before you arrive, which makes it easier to get started.

Santa and Mrs. Claus lead a holiday sing-along in the Library Atrium at NOPL Brewerton. Afterward, children can sit down with the two of them, wish list in hand, and talk over what they are hoping for this Christmas.
The visit is on Monday, December 14, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, for babies through tweens. Registration is encouraged but not required, and it opens at 12:00 pm on Monday, November 30. No price is listed on the library's page.
Parent tip: Have your child write or draw a wish list beforehand, since the chat with the Clauses comes after the singing and little ones may be worn out by then. Registering when sign-up opens on November 30 lets the library know you are coming, even though walk-ins are allowed.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Brewerton
Brewerton grew up beside Fort Brewerton, put up in 1759 to guard the route from Albany to the port of Oswego, at the spot where Oneida Lake empties into the Oneida River. These days Christmas for families in this lakeside community centers on its public library branch, with a card-making afternoon and an evening visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
How Brewerton celebrates
Brewerton's confirmed Christmas programs for kids both come from the Northern Onondaga Public Libraries and take place at the NOPL Brewerton branch. On Monday, December 7, 2026, the Community Room hosts a drop-in craft where children make a Christmas card for someone special. A week later, on Monday, December 14, Santa and Mrs. Claus lead a holiday sing-along in the Library Atrium and then sit with children to hear their wish lists. Neither listing describes itself as annual. The Wikipedia article on Brewerton names the library and its Brewerton branch among the community's links, alongside the Fort Brewerton Historical Society.
Fun facts about Christmas in Brewerton
Fort Brewerton was erected in 1759, and settlers arrived in 1789 to take part in the fur trade. The fort was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and the Fort Brewerton Block House Museum, next to the original fort, holds local relics that go back to Paleo-Indian times. Brewerton Speedway was built in 1948 as a quarter-mile dirt track. The community straddles two counties, with part in the town of Cicero in Onondaga County and part in the town of Hastings in Oswego County.
Traditions today
- Santa and Mrs. Claus at the library: Santa and Mrs. Claus lead a sing-along in the Library Atrium at NOPL Brewerton on December 14, 2026, and then listen to wish lists.
- Christmas card drop-in craft: Kids make a Christmas card for someone special in the library's Community Room on December 7, 2026.
- Oneida Lake and the Oneida River: Brewerton sits at the west end of Oneida Lake where it flows out into the Oneida River, the water that frames the community in every season.
- Fort Brewerton Block House Museum: The museum beside the original 1759 fort keeps local relics that date back to Paleo-Indian times.
A fact for kids
Brewerton has a museum in a block house next to the site of a fort from 1759, and some of the things inside come from Paleo-Indian times, long before the fort was built.
Questions about Christmas in Brewerton
When was Brewerton, New York settled?
The community is sited near the former Fort Brewerton, which was erected in 1759. Settlers arrived in 1789 to engage in the fur trade. Today Brewerton is a census-designated place split between the town of Cicero and the town of Hastings.
Where does the name Brewerton come from?
The community shares its name with Fort Brewerton, the 1759 fort it grew up beside. According to the Wikipedia article, 19th century maps labeled this area Fort Brewerton, while Brewerton on its own meant the Cicero portion. The article does not say who the fort was named for.
What was Fort Brewerton built for?
The fort was put up in 1759 to defend the passage from Albany to the port of Oswego. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and the Fort Brewerton Block House Museum stands next to the original fort.
Where is Brewerton?
Brewerton lies at the west end of Oneida Lake, at its outlet into the Oneida River, and is a northern suburb of Syracuse. It spans the town of Cicero in Onondaga County and the town of Hastings in Oswego County. U.S. Route 11 and Interstate 81 both pass through.
What happens at Christmas for kids in Brewerton?

Where do Brewerton's Christmas events take place?

The Northern Onondaga Public Libraries list both events on their NOPL Events calendar. The Wikipedia article on Brewerton includes the library and its Brewerton branch among its external links, next to the Fort Brewerton Historical Society.
Are Brewerton's library Christmas events free?
The listings do not state a price for either program. The card craft on December 7, 2026 is drop-in, and registration for Santa and Mrs. Claus on December 14 is encouraged but not required, so neither one involves a ticket.
What else is Brewerton known for?
Brewerton Speedway was built in 1948 as a quarter-mile dirt track. The Wikipedia article also describes Brewerton as a major port for fishing on Oneida Lake in recent years, which it links to Bass Masters outings at Oneida Shores County Park.
