Santa sets up in a traditional workshop in Brown Square every weekend from December 5 to 20, where kids can share their wish lists and pose for a photo with him.
Brown Square sits right by downtown, so a visit pairs easily with a stroll past Newburyport’s decorated shop windows on State and Pleasant Streets.
Parent tip: With six weekend dates, the later December weekends tend to be busiest, so aim for the first weekend if you want a short line.

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.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
