2nd Annual FREE Photos with Santa! Families and Pets Welcome!

Santa Claus is coming to downtown Alton, and the whole family is invited!

Join us on Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at The Teller Room 1925 for an afternoon of Christmas magic, holiday shopping, and FREE photos with Santa!

Bring Your Phone or Camera!

We'll provide a real-life Santa Claus and a beautiful Christmas setting. You bring your phone or camera and capture your own special holiday memories! Take photos to print, share with family and friends, post on social media, or turn into your very own Christmas cards.

No sitting fees. No expensive photo packages. No obligation to purchase anything. Just FREE Christmas memories!

Why Do We Offer Free Santa Photos?

We know the holidays can be expensive, and traditional mall Santa photos aren't always affordable for every family. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to capture those special Christmas memories, regardless of their budget.

That's why we're bringing this event back for a second year!

The WHOLE Family Is Welcome!

Babies, toddlers, teenagers, parents, grandparents — everyone is invited to visit Santa!

Pets Can Take Photos with Santa, Too!

Don't leave your furry family members at home! Well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome to meet Santa and have their pictures taken.

Shop Local While You're Here!

Browse our holiday vendor market featuring local makers, small businesses, handmade gifts, baked goods, holiday treats, and unique Christmas finds. Shopping is completely optional, but it's a wonderful way to support local businesses!
