Royal Palm Beach Winter Festival

Expand to see the parent tip

The Village’s Winter Festival takes over Commons Park for an afternoon and evening, and it is Royal Palm Beach’s biggest holiday night of the year.

Last year it featured carnival rides, a skating rink, a rock wall, a kids craft station and local dance performances, then the lighting of a 28-foot Christmas tree and photos with Santa after dark.

Parent tip: Come in the afternoon for the rides while lines are short, then stay for the tree lighting and Santa photos in the evening.

Santa photosFree

Photos with Santa at Commons Park

Expand to see the parent tip

Santa settles in at the Commons Park Sporting Center on two Saturday evenings in December for photos with the Village’s families.

Last year the photos were free and open to kids, grown-ups and even pets, which makes it a low-key second chance if the Winter Festival line was long.

Parent tip: Bring your own phone or camera for the photo, and come right at 5 pm for the shortest wait.

Plan your December

When each Royal Palm Beach Christmas event for kids happens

Make the Winter Festival on December 5 your big night out, and save the Saturday Santa photo nights for a calmer visit later in the month.

Looking further afield? Our Florida Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. 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.
