Westminster packs its whole kickoff into one Saturday, starting in the morning at the Westminster Family Fitness Center with A Little Whoville Magic, a free kids’ party with crafts, face painting and visits from the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who.
At 5 pm the Holiday Electric Parade rolls down Main Street, then the crowd sings carols and counts down to the city tree lighting in Locust Lane before Santa opens his house on the library’s front lawn.
Parent tip: Treat it as two trips: the Whoville crafts in the morning, then come back before 5 pm to grab a curb spot on Main Street for the lit parade.

After the big parade weekend, Santa keeps regular hours at his little house on the front lawn of the Carroll County Public Library branch on Main Street.
Three December Saturday afternoons give families an easy, no-ticket chance to share wish lists, then wander the downtown shops and Locust Lane while the lights are up.
Parent tip: Early December Saturdays are usually quieter than December 19, the last visit before Christmas.

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.
