Local artists, crafters and small shops sell gifts at the Merry Market while school groups and hometown performers keep the stage busy from 10 am to 4 pm.

Saturday with Santa at Navarre Library

Expand to see the parent tip

Santa takes a break from the North Pole to visit the Navarre Library, where kids hear a Christmas story and get a small gift from him.

The visit is sponsored by the Friends of the Library and is part of a Santa tour of every Santa Rosa County library branch.

Parent tip: Bring your own camera for a picture with Santa. If December 19 does not work, Santa visits the Milton Library on December 5.

Plan your December

When each Navarre Christmas event for kids happens

Spend December 5 at Navarre Park for the market, parade and Santa photos, then return to the library on December 19 for a quieter Santa story time.

Looking further afield? Our Florida Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Pensacola, Panama City, Tallahassee and Gainesville. 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.
