When each Morgan Hill Christmas event for kids happens

Two Saturdays in a row: the downtown parade on December 5, then Santa photos at Magical Bridge Playground on December 12.

Looking further afield? Our California Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Gilroy, Watsonville, San Jose and Santa Cruz. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

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.
