Santa and Mrs. Claus have become a treasured holiday tradition in Sonora, delighting families year after year with their warmth, laughter, and genuine love of the season.
For many, visiting them has become a multigenerational tradition. Parents who once sat on Santa’s lap now return with their own children and grandchildren to share in the same small-town magic.
This year, the beloved couple will once again welcome visitors to Santa’s House in Courthouse Park, which transforms into Christmas Tree Lane during the holidays. The park sparkles with more than 50 beautifully decorated trees, each lovingly created by local non-profit organizations.
Surrounded by twinkling lights, laughter, and the scent of pine, a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the heart of Christmas Town Sonora is a heartwarming celebration of community, kindness, and timeless holiday spirit.
